    • 6+ years delivering production systems and software applications

Bonus Qualifications

    • Experience with embedded Linux in a robotics application
    • Familiarity with security software: PKI, secure boot, hardware key storage, etc.
    • Graduate degree with a focus on networking, operating systems, or computer security
Compensation
