- Strong proficiency in C/C++ for embedded systems.
- Ability to read/translate algorithmic descriptions in Python/Matlab into low-level code.
- Experience translating and optimizing machine learning models for embedded targets (e.g., quantization, fixed-point, pruning).
- Understanding basic DSP concepts (filters, FFTs, spectral processing, etc.)
- Familiarity with microcontrollers, RTOS, SoCs, or custom hardware.
Benefits
- Health, Dental & Vision (Gold and Platinum with some providers plans fully covered)
- Paid parental leave
- Alternating day off (every other Monday)
