• Proficiency reading and interpreting engineering drawings, blueprints, electrical schematics, and circuit diagrams, plus familiarity with electronic components, circuits, and basic electronics principles
• Attention to detail and sharp observation and troubleshooting skills
• The ability to follow industry test standards and spot potential problems in tests, machine setup, and test conditions
