• Interface and integrate sensors such as: Accelerometers, Gyroscopes, Other IMU / environmental sensors.
• Implement Digital Signal Processing (DSP) techniques for real-time sensor data analysis.
• Design and apply filtering techniques such as: Low-pass, high-pass, and band-pass filters, Moving average and exponential smoothing filters.
• Sensor fusion filters (e. g., complementary filters, basic Kalman filtering).
• Develop solutions for high-frequency data acquisition and streaming over BLE and/or Wi-Fi.
• Implement and optimize mesh communication protocols.
• Work extensively with Nordic Semiconductor (nRF) platforms, including nRF5 SDK, nRF Connect SDK (NCS).
• Design and optimize data storage systems using NOR Flash, ensuring efficient: Data logging, Retrieval, Wear leveling (if applicable).
• Optimize firmware for: Low power consumption, Bluetooth range and reliability, and System performance and latency.
• Debug, test, and validate firmware using standard tools (JTAG, RTT, logs, etc. ).
• Collaborate with hardware, mobile, and backend teams for system integration.

Cross-Functional Collaboration:

• Work closely with hardware engineers to co-design power-efficient systems.
