Debug and troubleshoot issues using lab equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, DSOs, serial debuggers).

Write and maintain Python scripts for test automation and validation.

Collaborate with hardware engineers, QA, and backend teams to ensure smooth integration.

Document firmware designs, APIs, and test procedures.

Learn and adapt to lighting-specific standards and communication protocols

Required Skills & Qualifications:

Strong programming skills in C and C++, with good knowledge of data structures and algorithms.

Familiarity with microcontroller development (STM32, Renesas, or equivalent).

Experience with hardware-level debugging and testing tools.

Understanding of basic networking and communication protocols (UART, I²C, SPI, GPIO).

Proficiency with Git/version control tools.

Ability to work independently on module design while collaborating effectively within a team.

Soft Skills (Critical for Success):

Willingness to learn and adapt quickly in a fast-paced environment.

Versatility: Comfortable working on both software and hardware tasks.
