• Experience developing software and automated tests and tools in object-oriented languages such as C++ and/or Python
• Experience developing safe, redundant, or fault-tolerant embedded systems.

• Experience working with industrial protocols, especially Common Industrial Protocol (CIP)
• Experience developing device drivers or other similar low-level embedded software
• Knowledge of modern ARM architectures
