## Description

* Design and implement robust, real-time embedded software in C and C++ for microelectronics, sensors, and other subsystems
 * Implement and optimize communication protocols
 * Build automated CI/CD pipelines for machine learning, manage model versioning, and monitor live models for data drift and performance degradation
 * Develop generative AI and large language model (LLM) systems, including retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and fine-tuning
 * Build scalable ETL/ELT pipelines using tools such as Spark or dbt, ensuring data is high quality, time-stamped, and ready for training and real-time inference
 * Design and deploy data collection systems for remote environments, as well as load-balanced staging and production IoT data services
 * Maintain and correct records in SQL-based databases
 * Run unit, integration, hardware-in-the-loop (HiL), and structured protocol testing to make live deployments fault-tolerant, reliable, and long-lasting
