  • Hands-on experience with RF test equipment: spectrum analyzers, VNAs, signal generators, power meters.
  • Solid understanding of RF fundamentals: impedance matching, S-parameters, gain, linearity, noise figure, etc.
  • Experience with version control systems (e.g., Git), test data analysis, and documentation tools.
  • Strong debugging, troubleshooting, and analytical skills.
  • Flexible, responsive, collaborative with an ability to work at a fast-paced startup environment.
  • Strong analytical and communication skills. Team player.
