Hands‑on experience with Linux‑based systems and CLI tools.
Experience working in mixed environments with consumer‑grade devices (STBs, smart TVs, mobile phones, gaming consoles, etc.) alongside traditional network and server infrastructure.
Proven ability to plan, execute, and maintain physical infrastructure – including rack/stack, cabling, labeling, and inventory management.
Strong troubleshooting and diagnostic skills across both hardware and network layers.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.
Ability to work independently, take ownership, and represent the team in cross‑functional discussions.
