  • Multimodal sensor usage and knowledge background is beneficial
  • Broad understanding of engineering fundamentals in software, networking, electrical, and mechanical systems and system components
  • Excellent engineering communication skills in both written documentation and verbal presentation, especially the ability to communicate complex technical issues to a diverse team
