## Description

We are seeking a highly engaged mid-level Embedded Software Engineer to join our team. This role offers a fast-paced environment where you will take ownership of feature development and work with minimal supervision on critical projects. We are looking for individuals with strong technical fundamentals in low-level systems programming who are eager to learn our product deeply and play a key role in system integration. This position requires working primarily onsite with some hybrid flexibility., + Design and develop embedded software using C/C++ within constrained environments, defining technical approaches.

 + Implement state machines and handle asynchronous events (e.g., interrupts, signals).
 + Work with operating system concepts including process scheduling, resource sharing, and synchronization.
 + Integrate networking capabilities into embedded devices (basic IP/MAC layer knowledge required).
