  • Integrate software with microcontroller peripherals and hardware buses such as SPI, I2C, UART, Ethernet, USB, and AXI.
  • Develop and execute test strategies including unit tests, software-in-the-loop, hardware-in-the-loop, and end-to-end field and scale testing.
  • Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams and mission operators to deploy, integrate, and sustain systems during exercises and operational events.
  • Optimize systems for performance, reliability, power consumption, speed, size, cost, and maintainability.
  • Support real-time sensor integration, edge processing, data distribution, and secure deployment infrastructure for fielded systems.
