• Have good communications skills
• Have good organisation skills
• In-depth knowledge of embedded Linux operating systems/board support packages
• Developing real time software in C
• Experience with debugging and optimising embedded code: finding problems and bottlenecks and fixing them

One or more of the following areas of domain experience (or similar) is also desirable:

• Linux driver development (preferably on ARM platforms)
• Familiarity with software-hardware interfacing
• Yocto
• Application development for embedded Linux or Android platforms
• Python, Perl, C++, C#, Objective C, Java, Bash/other scripting languages
• Build systems, source control & defect tracking
• Communications protocols
• Wireless technologies
• Test frameworks and design-for-test methodology
• Relevant commercial domain experience in medical, sensors or defence
• A record of open source software contributions
