What We Look for in the Resume
We are specifically looking for evidence of:
- Hands on hardware ownership, not only analysis or oversight
- Direct tester development (schematics, wiring, fixtures)
- Subsystem integration and bring up work
- Real troubleshooting examples, not just theoretical design
- Consistent execution in lab-based roles over the last 5 years

Work Style & Mindset
- Practical, “get it working” engineering mindset
- Comfortable operating in ambiguous, early development environments
- Strong ownership of problems from discovery to resolution
- Collaborative, but able to work independently in the lab
