Firmware development environments primarily include Embedded Linux (C, C++, Golang, Yocto) and RTOS on Microcontrollers (C). Rust is being explored. Solve very challenging Firmware problems while applying Data Structure and Object Oriented thinking to build infrastructure APIs used by Axon’s Embedded Product teams.
