Associate degree in Electronics Engineering Technology, Electrical Technology, or a closely related discipline. Bachelor’s degree, military electronics training (such as Navy ET / EM, Air Force 2E series, Army 94E), or equivalent demonstrated hands-on experience will also be considered.
Solid working knowledge of analog and digital electronics fundamentals, including DC and AC theory, Ohm’s and Kirchhoff’s laws, basic semiconductor behavior, op-amps, and digital logic.
Strong understanding of low-voltage power architectures: linear regulators, LDOs, switching regulators, power sequencing, decoupling, and load characterization.
Ability to read and interpret schematics, BOMs, PCB layout files, mechanical drawings, and component datasheets.
Hands-on debug experience with embedded communication interfaces including I2C, SPI, UART, and USB.
Precision soldering and rework skills for SMT components down to 0402 (and ideally smaller) and through-hole assemblies. Comfortable with hot air rework, hot tweezers, and microscope work.
Mechanically inclined: comfortable with hand tools, torque drivers, calipers, basic fixture assembly, and light fabrication.
Clear written communication skills: able to produce structured test reports, debug logs, and failure analysis write-ups that are usable by engineers and management without rework.
Comfortable with basic data analysis using Excel.
Disciplined approach to ESD safety, lab safety, and traceable data management.
Proficiency with most of the following bench test equipment:
Digital multimeters, handheld and bench grade
Mixed-signal oscilloscopes
Programmable bench DC power supplies
Programmable electronic DC loads
Function and signal generators
Logic analyzers (e.g., Saleae)
Spectrum analyzers for basic RF measurements
Source measure units (SMU) for low-current characterization
High-resolution current and power profilers (e.g., Joulescope, Keysight N6705)
Self-starter who can take a written test plan, execute it in the lab, recognize when something looks wrong, and escalate with evidence.
Strong collaboration skills and the ability to work productively across hardware, firmware, systems, and product teams.
Experience working as part of a multi-cultural and geographically dispersed team.
Willingness to travel up to 10% to support field characterization or production support as needed.
Highly motivated and organized, with excellent interpersonal skills, a high level of resilience and resourcefulness, a “can do” attitude, and the ability to work with minimal oversight.
