- Demonstrated expertise in working in operating system kernel internals in a real-time environment, Linux or other RTOS
- Direct experience with the PREEMPT_RT patchset while not required would be highly regarded
- Earned a bachelor's (or equivalent university level) degree, preferably in a technology field
- Significant programming experience in C, with Python and Bash scripting also highly regarded
- Solid understanding of device drivers, BSP's, and other low level system engineering
