  • BSEE and 8 or more years’ experience, or MSEE and 5 or more years’ experience, or PhD and 4 or more years’ experience.
  • Extensive experience designing complex, multi‑layer, high‑density PCBs is essential.
  • Extensive designing with analog sensors, ADCs, and embedded processors.
  • Experience with, or oversight of, electronic layout, bill‑of‑materials, and assembly process.
  • Understanding of digital signal processing techniques and processes.
  • Experience with low‑noise electronics design.
  • Basic understanding of MATLAB‑aided data analysis.
  • Experience or familiarity with electronics assembly, wiring, crimping, and soldering.
  • Proficiency with electronic laboratory test equipment including digital multimeter, oscilloscope, function generator, digital voltage and current measurement probes.
  • Troubleshooting printed circuit boards and electronics assemblies including cables, sensors, grounding, and noise.
  • Ability to grasp, organize, and communicate complex concepts both electrical and organizational and interface with multi‑disciplinary team.
  • Basic proficiency interfacing with Linux‑based systems.
  • Basic competence with MATLAB data analysis.
Preferred Skills and Attributes
  • S. or PhD in Electrical Engineering with a concentration in microelectronics.
  • Prior experience designing electronics for underwater maritime systems.
