• Hold a minimum of 5 years of professional experience in electrical and embedded systems design, ideally within military, aerospace, defense, or medical device industries

• Demonstrate proven expertise in circuit schematic design and PCB layout, with Altium Designer or equivalent software strongly preferred

• Maintain hands-on experience developing, debugging, and programming firmware for real-time embedded microcontroller applications

• Exhibit strong functional expertise in RFI/EMI mitigation techniques, digital circuitry, signal integrity, Bluetooth, and USB integration

• Demonstrate knowledge of high-reliability/safety-critical design practices and regulatory compliance standards such as MIL-STD, IPC, ISO 9001, ISO 13485, IEC 60601, or FDA design controls

• Maintain familiarity with laboratory and environmental testing tools, including automated testing, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and spectrum analyzers

• Display a solid understanding of acoustic signal processing or audio system integration

• Exhibit excellent written and verbal communication skills alongside strong analytical troubleshooting abilities in both lab and production environments
