• Ability to read schematics, datasheets, and mechanical drawings.

Desired Skills

• Experience with FPGA or RFSoC systems, DDR memory, PCIe, Ethernet, JESD204, high-speed SerDes, ADCs, DACs, PLLs, and precision clock distribution.
• Experience with HDI, microvias, via-in-pad, or backdrilling.
• Experience with Ansys SIwave, HyperLynx, Sigrity, or similar PCB analysis tools.
• Experience with Altium 365, managed libraries, component lifecycle management, release workflows, and version control.
• Aerospace, defense, or other high-reliability electronics experience.
• Understanding of IPC Class 3 requirements.
