Understand trade-offs when it comes to topics such as memory, processor capabilities, hardware offloading, latency/bandwidth, or build versus re-use
Can use version control, such as Git (hint: we use it), and you might be pedantic about how you version your software (like using SemVer)
Demonstrate a core competency in one, or many, of the following: networking communication, distributed computing, Linux driver development, middleware frameworks, state machine modeling, real-time operating systems, software/hardware simulations, or pick your flavor of nerding out and tell us!
Most importantly, want to learn, and want to be challenged
