• Experience with interconnect design or experience with connector &/or cable/cable assembly design (high speed twinax cables, direct attach copper (DAC) cables), &/or RF antenna, RF sub-system
• Signal integrity analysis tools (Ansys Circuit Designer, Ansys HFSS, etc.)
• A solid understanding of electromagnetic theory and electrical circuit behavior
• Understanding of optical component models and co-simulation for electro-optical channel simulations 
• Strong analytical capabilities to interpret simulation and lab data to identify issues and provide solutions to fix identified problem.  SixSigma methodologies or other strong data analytics background a PLUS.
• Familiarity with printed circuit board design, fabrication and assembly.  Proficient in Altium a PLUS.
• Experience in project leadership, especially as it applies across design, development & manufacturing teams
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
• Ability to work in a global environment – able to accommodate varying time zones, fluent in English (verbal/written), able to collaborate with individuals across geographies
• Direct customer design and support experience, and ability to travel as needed
• Ability to, and experience with, teaching and training peers in applying software tools and methodologies, and in the use of electrical test equipment, including VNA’s and TDR’s
• Highly motivated, a quick learner, and able to work independently
