## Description

Working on cutting-edge communications, space and high-performance networking products, you'll play a key role in developing embedded software that powers next-generation systems. This is a hands-on opportunity to work across the full product lifecycle, from hardware bring-up and architecture through to production release.
The Role:
You'll join a highly experienced multidisciplinary engineering team, developing robust embedded software for complex communications products. Zephyr is central to the technology stack, and we're particularly interested in engineers who have successfully delivered Zephyr-based products in a commercial environment from start to end of a project.
What You'll Be Doing:

 * Developing embedded software using Zephyr RTOS
 * Taking products from concept through to release using Zephyr throughout.
 * Hardware bring-up and low-level debugging
 * Working with protocols including SPI, CAN, I²C, and UART.
 * Supporting embedded networking and communications features
 * Investigating and resolving hardware/software integration challenges
 * Working closely with hardware, FPGA, RF and systems engineers
