• Experience testing and troubleshooting electrical circuits and documenting test results.

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with the EODAS Sensor configurations, capabilities, interfaces, and operation in a production assembly and test environment.
• Experience with Mentor Graphics XPedition or similar schematic-capture tools.
• Proficiency working in a lab environment using industry-standard test equipment such as oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, digital multimeters (DMMs), power supplies, signal generators, and vector network analyzers.
• Knowledge of simulation and analysis tools.
• Experience in data analysis for identifying trends and improvement opportunities.
• Strong analytical skills and problem-solving abilities.

Benefits

• Medical, dental, vision, life insurance, and short-term/long-term disability coverage.
