- Write low-level code in C/C++ or Python to bring up boards and run verification checks.
- Coordinate with firmware, operations and software teammates on shared goals.
- Travel about once a quarter to support on-site installations and calibration.

- Strong PCB layout skills in Altium or a comparable design tool.
- Working knowledge of C/C++ or Python for device firmware and automated testing.
- A bachelor's or master's degree in engineering.
- Independent problem solving, including tracing root causes and recommending fixes without close direction.
- Comfort with ambiguity and enthusiasm for hands-on testing outside the lab.
