• Integrate software with external hardware systems simulation platforms and embedded components via network and serial interfaces
• Develop data acquisition and signal processing modules that translate raw sensor and instrument output into actionable application data
• Implement and maintain microservices and IPC patterns to support modular low-latency application architectures
• Integrate local and hosted LLM inference pipelines to support real-time AI-driven feedback and post-session analytical reporting
• Script and automate deployment configuration and dependency management for applications targeting both Windows and Linux environments
• Instrument application telemetry and logging; monitor and tune for latency regressions inference throughput and error rates
