Responsibilities

  • Participate in the design, development, and testing of precision timing software in C on embedded Linux
  • Collaborate with team members to solve problems and support each other
  • Create documentation and automated tests for your code

  • BS/MS in CS/ECE/EE or equivalent self-taught experience
  • Solid C programming skills – show us your code! (GitHub account name preferred; our job application system strips all URLs)
  • Proven deep understanding of networking at all layers of the stack
  • Ability to perform in both self-directed and collaborative settings
  • Excellent attention to detail and a desire to get your solution right
