•
03Hands-on experience bringing up microcontrollers (STM32H7, ESP32, RP2040) and writing low-level drivers
•
04Experience with motor control systems, BLDC/servo drivers, encoder interfaces, and actuator feedback loops
•
05Experience with embedded communication protocols: SPI, I2C, CAN/CAN-FD, UART, PWM, ADC, DMA
•
06Worked with different types of actuators (BLDC, servo, stepper, etc.)
•
07Familiarity with real-time operating systems (FreeRTOS, Zephyr) or bare-metal development
•
08Understanding of real-time control loops, sensor fusion, and timing-sensitive firmware
•
09Comfortable using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG/SWD debuggers, and low-level hardware tools
•
10(+) Experience with IMUs, tactile sensors, force sensors, or high-rate sensing pipelines
•
11(+) Knowledge of Linux real-time systems (PREEMPT_RT, Xenomai) or FPGA-based sensor interfaces
•
12(+) Familiarity with EtherCAT, distributed embedded networks, or safety-critical firmware
•
13(+) Experience with ROS/ROS2, HIL pipelines, or automated hardware testing
•
14(+) Experience building bootloaders, OTA systems, or secure firmware signing
