Support development and testing of communication interfaces (e.g., SPI, UART, I²C) between controllers and peripheral modules.
Interface with Electrical, Digital, and Firmware Engineers to support integrated hardware‑software development activities.
Implement lab test setups, collect and analyze test data, and document results during verification and validation phases.
