•     Software-in-the-Loop Simulation (SILS) 
•     Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation (HILS) 

- Implement embedded applications using C, C++, and Python. 

- Configure and generate embedded code using tools such as HALCoGen. 

- Develop and test applications on Texas Instruments (TI) Hercules microcontrollers and related platforms. 

- Use Eclipse-based IDEs for development, debugging, and integration. 

- Ensure code quality by following MISRA-C coding guidelines. 

- Use Git or similar version control systems for source code management and collaboration. 

- Document firmware, test procedures, and validation results. 

Required Skills: 

- Strong understanding of embedded hardware fundamentals, including microcontrollers and peripherals. 

- Programming experience in C, C++, and Python. 

- Knowledge of communication protocols such as: 

•     UART 
•     SPI
