Python/Hardware Systems Do you want to build real-world machines that handle complex tasks with speed and precision. This isn’t app or web dev, it’s embedded Python, hardware integration, and system-level thinking. We’re looking for someone who writes robust code, understands how systems behave in the wild, and knows how to push hardware … work together seamlessly. What you’ll be doing: Writing Python to interface with motors, sensors, relays, power systems, and I/O Designing and maintaining services that run on embeddedLinux (often headless) Working with serial protocols (UART, I2C, SPI), MQTT, CANbus, Modbus etc. Handling real-time constraints, task scheduling, and resource-limited environments Debugging across layers: device … and simulation tools to catch bugs early Optimising code for performance, memory, and reliability at the edge Tech you might use or encounter: Python (asyncio, multiprocessing, struct, ctypes, pytest) Linux (systemd, udev rules, shell scripting, device trees) Microcontrollers and SBCs (Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone, STM32, ESP32) Networking and messaging: ZeroMQ, MQTT, TCP/UDP sockets ROS, FreeRTOS, or similar frameworks More ❯
