  • Strong fundamentals in circuit analysis and mechanical analysis.
  • Solid programming skills, with a focus on writing clean and maintainable code.
  • Familiarity with serial communication protocols (ie. i2c, SPI)
  • Excellent time management and organizational skills
  • Adaptable to a changing work environment, with the ability to manage competing demands and frequent changes.
  • A hands-on approach to work and troubleshooting.
  • Ability to apply domain knowledge to ambiguous and novel situations.

WE VALUE, BUT DON'T REQUIRE:
