  • Strong debugging, unit testing, and system integration skills
  • Familiarity with fault-tolerant design patterns (e.g., watchdogs, voting logic, ECC)
  • Understanding of networking protocols and embedded communication
  • Exposure to industry standards like MISRA-C or JSF
  • Ability to thrive in fast-paced, high-ownership environments

Who Should Apply We prioritize exceptional talent over traditional credentials. If you’ve built something extraordinary, solved hard problems, or taken an unconventional path to mastery, we want to hear from you. My client is open to crafting unique roles for standout individuals.

Benefits

  • 100% employer-paid medical, dental, and vision (base plans)
