2. 2-4 years of proven experience in embedded systems and IoT product development (with at least one end-to-end project shipped or holding a major contribution).
3. Proficiency in C/C++ (Python and embedded Linux systems (Raspberry Pi) are a plus) for embedded systems.
4. Experience with RTOS (FreeRTOS, Zephyr) and edge computing architectures.
5. Familiarity with wireless protocols: BLE, WiFi, LoRa and MQTT/CoAP/HTTP.
Practical experience with cloud platforms (AWS IoT Core, Azure IoT Hub or GCP IoT Core).
6. Hands-on with debugging tools: oscilloscopes, logic analysers, multimeters, etc.
7. Exposure to hardware project cycles including BOM review, design for manufacturing and compliance (CE, FCC, RoHS).
8. Experience managing projects using agile or structured delivery methodologies.
9. Startup-ready mindset: high ownership, willingness to work hands-on, and the ability to operate with autonomy.
10. Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across disciplines (hardware, cloud, product, design) in fast-paced environments.
