• Familiarity with hardware and electronic design tools and workflows
• Ability to work independently on moderately complex tasks and contribute to larger initiatives
• Strong communication skills for technical collaboration across teams
• Knowledge of electrical systems in applications such as radar, communications, and computing
• Strong problem-solving skills and analytical thinking
• Proven ability to resolve complex technical challenges

Preferred Qualifications

• Analog design
• Digital signal processing (DSP)
• Electrical construction and installation
• Electronic and hardware design
• Radio frequency (RF) systems
• Power generation, transmission, and distribution
• Familiarity with VHDL for digital system simulation
