Hi,

I applied on the website. I have a solid background in embedded systems and C++ but I immediately received a rejection email. I wish I could have chatted with an engineer first :-(

Sounds like there was some disqualifying factor you're not aware of. (Citizenship, willingness to relocate, whatever.) No one sends out immediate rejection emails to experienced engineers unless they really have to.

I was open to all those things.

Just giving examples; I have no idea what the actual reason was. My overall point is that you shouldn't take it as an indication for your engineering ability; an instant rejection means that wasn't the thing.
