• Experience with wire harnesses, connectors, and soldering or crimping
• Familiarity with installing and troubleshooting electronic sensors and components
• Competence with electrical test equipment (multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, etc.)
• Exposure to schematic capture or PCB design tools (e.g., Altium, KiCad)
• Experience with Python, Bash, or a similar language for scripting and test automation
• Familiarity with embedded systems and communication protocols (e.g., CAN, SPI, I2C, UART, Ethernet)
• Attentive to detail and committed to a high level of quality in all work
