- Experience identifying, reproducing, and resolving complex software defects, including root cause isolation, tracing through large source code bases, and implementing long-term fixes as well as short-term workarounds
- A strong team-oriented spirit and a highly motivated individual skilled in coordination and communication
- A positive, creative, and open-minded problem solver.
It's nice if you have:
- Experience in data-path design and development
