• Five to eight years of electrical hardware design experience, including end-to-end PCB design and hardware development.
• A bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or a related engineering discipline.
• Experience designing complex, high-speed mixed-signal PCBs and building hardware test environments, such as test racks, fixtures, or HIL systems.
• Experience in aerospace, defense, automotive, robotics, or semiconductors.
• Familiarity with Altium Designer, Cadence Allegro, or comparable PCB design tools; Python experience is also relevant.
