• Very strong background in software/hardware integration and debug

• Commitment to delivering technical reports as required by the project team.

Desirable:

• Experience of working within a product manufacture and test domain

• RF test and measurement experience

• Knowledge of digital electronics design and manufacture (schematic capture, PCB, FPGA/ASIC, power architecture)
