• Experience troubleshooting and debugging complex systems with a team.

• Experience with digital and mixed signal board level circuit design. Only digital PCB design is required.

• Lab equipment experience (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, etc.)

• A proven history of technical design success and a methodology of achieving it

• Ability to work on problems of difficult scope where success requires analysis of data and judgement on the generation of additional unprovided inputs
