- Experience with mobile projects is highly-highly beneficial (smartwaches and carpplay)

- Additionally, it is important that you bring technical excellence processes to the team and establish code review, quality and testing practices.

- There will be some business trips 
- Experience in manufacturing, energy, and industrial domains will be a plus
