● Experience with hardware interfaces such as UART, I2C, SPI, and CAN.
● Strong debugging skills with the ability to analyze logs and failure reports.
● Familiarity with version control systems (Git) and Continuous Integration (CI) systems
like GitLab CI.

Preferred Qualifications:

● Experience working with embedded systems.
● Knowledge of Docker and virtualization for test environments.
● Hands-on experience with test equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power
supplies).
● Background in automotive, aerospace, or IoT industries.
● Experience with NI VeriStand, Vector CANoe, and Wireshark for testing and validation.
