Hi,

I am writing to express my keen interest in the Embedded Systems Engineer role (or other specific roles) at your esteemed organization. With a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Engineering and almost 2 years of hands-on experience in R&D environments, I am eager to bring my expertise in Embedded Systems and IoT to your team.

Over the past two years, I have developed my programming skills in C and C++ while accumulating nearly two years of industrial experience. My focus has been on firmware development for various microcontrollers, including ESP32, RP2040, and STM32L4. I have also programmed them in Bare Metal and in RTOS. I primarily use the C language and work with platforms such as Arduino IDE and STMCube IDE.My proficiency extends to different architectures, including RISC-V, AVR, and Arm. My proficiency also lies in firmware development in C and C++ extends to Linux-based environments, particularly Debian. I have also got experience of FPGA development using Xilinx Artix 7.

I have hands-on experience with communication technologies like GSM, LTE, BLE, and Wi-Fi. Additionally, I have worked AWS IoT Core for MQTT communication, demonstrating my familiarity with cloud-based IoT solutions. I have also gained valuable experience in using Docker and Docker Compose to manage and run containers as services. I have also contributed to the development of IoT solutions, including Node-Red and Django Dashboards.

My expertise includes designing, implementing, and testing in C and C++ Applications. I have a strong background in using Git for version control. Additionally, I am well-versed in unit and integration test techniques. I have experience in Agile methodology and proficiency in the Atlassian toolset, including Jira.

What distinguishes me is my growth mindset. I constantly keep myself updated with the latest technologies and best practices in software development. This commitment to continuous learning benefits not just me but also any team I am part of, creating an atmosphere of innovation and collective growth.

My academic background and industry experience align well with your job requirements. I am also proficient in English, ensuring smooth communication within international teams. Although I am currently based in Lahore, Pakistan, I am open to international opportunities and would require a work permit for relocation.

I am excited about the possibility of contributing to the success and growth of your organization. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss my suitability for this role in more detail.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Warm regards,
Shamir Tahir
