  • Integrate edge devices with network infrastructure (cellular, satellite, etc.)

  • Maintain and support embedded C components on hardware platforms

  • Develop simple Windows-based GUI tools (preferably in Qt for Python)

  • Create scalable APIs and interfaces for end users and third-party systems

  • Ensure system performance through automated testing and monitoring

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams in a structured Agile environment

    Ideal Experience for the IOT Software Engineer job:

  • Strong Python development in production environments

  • Hands-on experience with Azure cloud services

  • Basic to moderate embedded C experience
