  • Proven ability to write performant, low-latency, and highly optimized code, particularly when dealing with large data payloads (multi-gigabyte scale).
  • Experience designing and implementing firmware using high-speed buses (SPI, 1G/10G Ethernet, USB...).
  • Experienced in using real-time operating systems such as FreeRTOS, DMA controllers, AXI bus, interrupt mechanisms and low-level threading implementation.
  • Knowledge of IP protocols down to the physical layer
Desired Skills
