My first job was writing drivers for chips on that switch. My recent experience is with younger tech companies, so I'm sure recruiters get some false positives when they search for resumes with "ios."

Wow, it's been a while. Pretty much anything you could poke with "test platform firmware," but r2d2 and tiangang come to mind.
