• Solid experience with Java, C#, C++, or other strongly typed languages.
• Comfort with scripting tools like Python to automate and accelerate workflows.
• A collaborative mindset and a desire to iterate rapidly with teammates and internal users.
• Excellent communication skills — you’ll be partnering with teams across the company

Preferred Skills and Qualifications:

• Experience in embedded systems development or testing.
• Familiarity with build automation, CI pipelines, and deployment workflows.
• UI framework knowledge such as JavaFX, Swing, XAML/.NET, or Qt.
