Troubleshoot, debug, and optimise code for performance, memory efficiency, and hardware constraints
Support the full software lifecycle, from design through to deployment on embedded targets

About You

Proven experience working with embedded systems or hardware-integrated applications
Proficient in Python for automation, tooling, or integration tasks
