• Hands-on experience in an electronics lab with full understanding of standard test equipment such as multimeters, oscilloscopes and signal generators

• Working knowledge of Audio Precision test equipment and standard audio analysis

• Demonstrated ability to build, test and troubleshoot PCB prototypes quickly and accurately

• Demonstrated ability to assemble, test and troubleshoot products as whole including PCBs, mechanical components, chassis, cases, etc

• Ability to set and meet realistic project timelines given a defined set of features and deliverables
