Enrolled in an electrical engineering, electrical and computer engineering, or electronics technology program at a university or technical college. Candidates earlier in their program are considered where aptitude is evident.

Required:

• Demonstrated hands-on experience building, testing, or troubleshooting electronic hardware through coursework, employment, or personal projects.
• Ability to read schematics, datasheets, and technical drawings.
• Careful, methodical attention to detail and a willingness to ask questions early rather than assume.
• Clear written communication and careful record keeping.

Preferred:

• Experience with PCB design software, such as OrCAD, Altium, KiCad, or similar.
• Hand soldering and rework on surface-mount components.
• Familiarity with oscilloscopes, digital multimeters, bench power supplies, or similar lab equipment.
• Coursework or project experience in circuit analysis, embedded systems, power electronics, or RF.
• Effective use of AI-assisted tools, with the discipline to verify their output independently before relying on it.
