Early stages this person will barely be in the lab, but as the project goes on they will test code in the lab, once the code is clear and gets passed, the code then go into the lab to be put on the transmitter test bench. •\tStrong C# is a good thing, one transmitter platform they have at CEC is built on C# soley. •\tGarrett was also a C# Expert. •\tWe need a strong C# Engineer with strong knowledge in embedded systems 5+ years experience. •\tFor the second role he is willing to look at someone with 3-4 years experience but not ideal, unless they truly are a rockstar like Emma Robinson.
