  • Hands-on experience with test and measurement equipment (oscilloscopes, multimeters, spectrum analyzers, etc.) to capture, analyze, and interpret electrical signals and data.
  • Strong communication skills to provide clear and concise status updates and technical findings to the project team.
  • Proven ability to work autonomously and manage your own time effectively to meet project goals in a fast-paced environment.
