Broad knowledge of high-complexity electrical engineering projects requiring multiple design specializations such as power supply theory, digital theory, analog theory, and RF design.
In-depth knowledge and practical use of key development tools and design standards, including component derating, DFMEA, oscilloscopes, multimeters, and simulation tools.
Demonstrated ability to define and analyze system architectures and clarify technical requirements for design teams.
Strong communication skills with a solid command of English, including the ability to explain complex technical topics to customers and internal stakeholders.
Ability to influence others and share best practices across teams and projects.
Experience working effectively as part of a global engineering team.
