• Developing designs in C/C++.
• Working with laboratory benchtop testing and equipment such as Logic Analyzers, Digital Oscilloscopes and Spectrum Analyzers.
• Working with Petalinux, Yocto/OpenEmbedded and creating/customizing embedded Linux distributions and board support packages (BSPs).
• Strong proficiency with git version control system.
• Bachelor's Degree (in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or related scientific/engineering field).

Nice to Have:

• Experience on cross-functional teams; designing/developing software driver interfaces with collaborative input from FPGA developers.
• Familiarity with Xilinx Versal and/or Zynq Ultrascale+.
• Designing and implementing scripts (Bash, Python, etc.).
• Strong familiarity with using Linux/Unix OS, command line and package management.
• Documenting designs in wikis (Confluence, Git, etc.).
• Master's Degree and/or PhD.

Education & Experience: Bachelor's plus 5+ Years of relevant work experience.
