• Knowledge of embedded systems, control systems, or RF/power systems concepts.
• Programming/scripting experience (Python, MATLAB, LabVIEW, or similar).
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and troubleshooting skills.
• Effective communication and ability to collaborate across technical and non-technical teams.

Additional for Senior Level:

• Demonstrated ability to independently solve complex technical problems and lead design efforts
• Experience influencing system architecture, design direction, or cross-functional decisions
