• Strong soldering, rework, and modification experience, including fine-pitch surface-mount components.
• Proficiency with advanced electronic diagnostic and test equipment, including oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, and related instrumentation.
• Demonstrated ability to work independently, prioritize technical issues, and make sound troubleshooting decisions with minimal oversight.
• Experience supporting both R&D/prototype hardware and production/manufacturing environments is highly preferred.
• Experience working within regulated manufacturing environments, such as FDA-regulated or ISO-compliant settings, is preferred.
• Familiarity with EMI/EMC troubleshooting and mitigation techniques is strongly preferred.
