Confidence debugging complex embedded systems under pressure
Solid grounding in protocol testing, both wired and over RF
An understanding of how IoT systems fit together, RF communication included
Comfortable working with standard lab test equipment
A genuinely hands-on style (you'll be happiest setting up rigs and chasing down failures yourself)Also Valued

Any background in GPS-based system testing
Familiarity with RF technologies such as BLE, WiFi, LTE-M or LoRa
Exposure to cloud infrastructure supporting IoT products
Comfortable in Atlassian tools and/or Azure DevOps
Some Python coding abilityIf you like owning a product's integration and debug story from the bench up, right as it heads into production, I'd love to hear from you.
