• Proficiency with schematic capture / PCB CAD tools (Mentor, CADSTAR, OrCAD, Altium, or similar).
• Hands ‑ on use of lab test equipment (oscilloscopes, multimeters, spectrum/logic analyzers, function generators, etc.).
• Knowledge of SMPS, mixed ‑ signal design (ADC/DAC), EMI/ESD mitigation, SI/PI, and high ‑ speed interfaces (e.g., PCIe, 10G Ethernet) is highly valued.
• Familiarity with IEC 60601‑1 / 60601‑1‑2, ISO 14971, EMC standards, and full product lifecycle.

Soft Skills:
