• You have 6+ years of experience building C++ or Rust software that runs on or near safety-critical hardware, with a strong focus on correctness and reliability
• You have deep understanding of memory management and inter-process communication (IPC), and you are comfortable designing and debugging high-performance binaries that pass data efficiently between processes
• You have hands-on experience with real-time or near-real-time execution, and you care about low jitter, latency, and throughput, using common tools to track down performance and memory bottlenecks
• You are comfortable integrating with industrial communication protocols (e.g., CAN, LXI, Modbus, RMC/DMCP, OpenDAQ or similar), including moving data reliably over TCP between controllers and higher-level systems

Nice to haves but not required:

• Experience designing and operating systems running on a real-time OS or environments with tight real-time constraints
• Experience with lock-free or low-contention concurrency patterns for high-throughput data exchange between processes
• Familiarity with time-sensitive networking, deterministic scheduling, or other techniques used to coordinate multiple controllers in a safety-critical environment
• Prior experience bringing up or debugging hardware-in-the-loop test setups for controllers, including working directly in lab environments with instruments and test equipment
