  • Produce maintainable, optimised code that aligns with technical specifications.
  • Prepare and update comprehensive technical documentation that meets industry protocols.
  • Participate actively in quality assurance, including software testing and peer code reviews.
  • Accelerate concept development through fast prototyping and iteration.
  • Troubleshoot and fix issues identified during field operations and deployments.
  • Contribute to ongoing research and planning activities relevant to the position.
  • Aid in handling and protecting intellectual property with the leadership team.
  • Liaise with external collaborators and partners as directed by management.
