- Deep test and validation experience. You have spent years inside T&V programs for complex hardware - cell or pack qualification, environmental and reliability testing, or equivalent programs in aerospace, medical devices, or defense
- Test engineering fluency. Design of experiments, reliability engineering, statistical inference on test data, requirements-driven test planning, and optimal test plan design
- Applied data experience. You have used data science, data engineering, and/or machine learning techniques in industrial applications. You are fluent in Python
- AI-forward. You have thought carefully about where AI can accelerate hardware test programs, and can give concrete examples of using AI or data-driven methods in your own work
