What We’re Looking For

- Able to independently identify critical information or priority gaps and apply effort toward closing those gaps.
- Undaunted by imperfect, incomplete or absent datasets or information, and capable of making sound, comprehensive, and swift first-principled decisions to achieve a product end-state that meets and/or exceeds the need of the hour.
- Not satisfied by superficial explanations of a problem or “band-aid engineering”; seeks persistently to find the specific root cause through data-driven methods, and resolve failures or recurring issues, so they can be mitigated to prevent future such instances.
- Gratified by helping your peers succeed, building a robust team culture.
- Seeks to break down information silos by collaborating rigorously with others to solve problems, share knowledge, and provide input.

- Proficiency with CAD tools (preferred, Altium), simulation software (preferred, MATLAB/Simulink/Spice)
- Competence with test equipment such as oscilloscopes, function generators, low and high voltage programmable power supplies, spectral, logic, and impedance analyzers, debuggers, voltage probes, current clamps, and automation of tests, reflow techniques, soldering, connector selection and integration etc.
- Fluent in CAN BUS protocols (preferred, J1939, CANOPEN) and other low-voltage networking protocols.
- Familiarity with MIL-STD, DO-160, or other automotive, defense, and aerospace standards.
- Strong problem-solving and troubleshooting skills.
