Advanced software debugging skills, particularly in low-level hardware debugging and resolving Android system crashes, are also necessary. Experience with complex embedded systems and custom System on Chips (SoCs), including expertise in peripheral interfaces like UART, SPI, CSI-2, I2C, GPIO, USB, and PCIe, is highly valued.

Compensation for this full-time position includes a base salary ranging from $171,000 to $264,000 annually, equity options, and a comprehensive benefits package.
