This is a rare chance to move beyond generic application development and solve fascinating hard problems where software touches the physical world from device test automation and real-time data streaming to powerful cloud visualization.
If you are a Highly Motivated engineer who thrives on owning complex architecture formalizing services for massive scale and seeing your code directly impact the quality of a physical product then this is your next challenge.

- Hardware Automation: Collaborate closely with hardware and firmware teams to automate end-of-line tests calibration routines and performance checks ensuring code quality directly translates to product quality.
- Code for the Real World: The work is what it isyou will be equally comfortable writing low-level Python for device communication as you are building polished frontend dashboards for engineers.
