Experience in systematized digital hardware test verification.
Analog hardware design experience or understanding of RF and antenna design fundamentals.
Bluetooth protocol experience at the link layer, as well as the software protocol layer.
Experience connecting modern mobile devices with custom modules via 2.4GHz wireless protocols such as BLE, WiFi, NFC, etc.
Automated testing experience with embedded C firmware.
Experience with design and simulation tools such as OrCAD, LabVIEW, Genesys, HFSS, AutoCAD, CADSTAR or Fab3000.
Hardware automation or robotics experience.
