• Implement safety-critical control logic and fault handling mechanisms.
• Debug and optimize embedded systems for reliability and performance.

Wireless Communication

• Design and implement BLE-based communication systems.
• Configure devices as BLE Central and Peripheral nodes.
• Develop secure wireless pairing and communication mechanisms.
• Troubleshoot connectivity, latency, and signal reliability issues.

Product Development

• Interface sensors, actuators, displays, and motor controllers.
• Integrate IMUs, Hall sensors, encoders, load cells, and battery systems.
• Support PCB bring-up and hardware validation.
• Participate in prototype development, testing, and field trials.

System Validation

• Conduct firmware verification and validation testing.
• Perform root-cause analysis of hardware and software issues.
• Create documentation, test reports, and technical specifications.
