## Description

As a Cloud HDE I, you'll contribute to real hardware development work, which may include:

 * Supporting the design, bring-up, and validation of hardware systems and subsystems
 * Developing firmware or low-level software that interfaces directly with hardware
 * Debugging hardware-software integration issues in the lab using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other bench equipment
 * Writing and running tests to validate hardware functionality, performance, and reliability
 * Collaborating with ASIC, systems, and software teams to take hardware from design through deployment
 * Documenting your work and presenting findings to the team
