◊ design generic SW running on different processor architectures: single/multiple core, Arm, MIPS, PPC,…
◊ write C / C++ code, makefiles, scripts,…
◊ remove memory leaks by using commercial tools.
◊ write test cases that validate your written code, and automate them.
◊ estimate and measure the consumed CPU cycles and on board memory.
◊ troubleshoot software on target hardware and in a simulation environment.
◊ long term quality of the software you delivered.
◊ help others in meeting the team objectives.
