- Experience with electrical design tools such as Altium, OrCAD, and LTSpice.
- Strong electrical engineering fundamentals, including hardware design, schematic capture, and test methodology.
- Ability to lead small technical teams and coordinate testing and repair activities.
- Effective communication skills for collaborating with technicians, engineers, and operational stakeholders.
