• 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

• Familiarity with GUI frameworks (Qt/PyQt or similar)
  
  
• Experience with version control (Git), testing, and CI/CD pipelines
  
  
• Understanding of system reliability and data integrity in IoT pipelines
  
  
• Comfortable working across software, firmware, and cloud
  
  This is a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of embedded systems and cloud software within a collaborative, forward-thinking engineering team. You'll gain real ownership of projects, enjoy hybrid flexibility, and work on technology that has a tangible impact across multiple industries.
