- Experience with FreeRTOS or comparable RTOS: task scheduling, interrupt handling, peripheral drivers (SPI, I2C, CAN, ADC, UART, DMA)
- Practical experience with BSP and HAL development - ability to define clean stub interfaces at L3 boundaries
- Proficiency in Linux (kernel configuration, systemd, device tree, virtual filesystems)
- Experience building and integrating CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI / Jenkins / GitHub Actions) with embedded/virtual targets
Nice to Have:
- Familiarity with SystemC / TLM-2.0 peripheral modeling
- Familiarity with virtual platform tools like dSPACE VEOS, Synopsis Silver or equivalent environments
