• Experience with designing at the circuit level to meet concerns of adjacent disciplines, such as thermal, structural, mechanical, reliability, and quality.

• A conceptual familiarity with one or more of the following sensor types: magnetic encoders, resolvers, Hall sensors.

• Experience conducting trade studies, and an awareness of how trade studies are used in control systems architecture definition.

• A conceptual familiarity with EMI Filter design and analysis considerations in control electronics circuits.

• Experience communicating and documenting technical topics at the small team level.

• Exposure to digital control electronics design, analysis, simulation, and test. Includes familiarity with embedded systems architecture and firmware development for digital control systems.

• Exposure to wide bandgap devices (SiC, GaN) in control electronics designs.

• Exposure to circuit/system simulator SaberRD, and MATLAB Simulink. Knowledge of dSPACE is not required but desirable.

• Exposure to Mentor Graphics DxDesigner, and/or Hyperlynx.

• Exposure to acting as a liaison between program and functional management in a cross-matrixed organization.

• Exposure to military specifications.

• Exposure to design considerations for voltages > 100V.

• Exposure to program management tools such as Earned Value.

• Exposure to proposal development.

• Self-starter, a quick learner, be able to function in a dynamic environment, and have good time management skills. Should have an appreciation for how successful teams are structured.
