Hardware Engineer

• Own our device firmware end to end (C/C++ on ESP32) — connectivity, provisioning, call behavior, and on-device audio

• Improve how real calls actually sound, working across the on-device audio path — echo cancellation, jitter buffer, packet-loss concealment, and codecs
• Chase down the field issues families feel — devices dropping off Wi-Fi, mesh and dual-band quirks, dropped calls — and drive them to root cause
