Integrate and bring up Kuiper-MAC firmware components in real-time environments.
Define performance requirements and make trade-offs to meet use case needs.
Build test cases, debug code, and profile execution on RTOS or bare-metal systems.
Contribute to defining services and functionalities delivered by firmware subsystems.

What we're looking for

Experience in designing and developing embedded firmware for real-time systems.
Proficiency in working with RTOS or bare-metal environments for code execution.
Ability to define and optimize multi-dimensional performance requirements.
Strong debugging skills in a complex, cross-functional team environment.
Familiarity with software/firmware best practices and clean architecture principles.
