- Proficiency with PCBA schematic capture and PCB design tools (Altium strongly preferred)
- Strong fundamentals in analog/mixed-signal design, including operational amplifiers, ADCs, and hardware filtering (anti-aliasing, bandpass, etc.)
- Experience performing component derating analysis, worst-case tolerance stack-ups, and Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA)
- Demonstrated ability to drive projects forward from initial requirements through production
