ability to conduct standard tests and measurements and to conduct, analyze, and interpret experiments;
ability to function effectively as a member of a technical team;
ability to analyze, solve and design solutions for well-defined problems;
ability to apply written, oral and graphical communication in both technical and non-technical environments; and an ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature;
understanding of the need for and an ability to engage in self-directed continuing professional development;
understanding of and a commitment to address professional and ethical responsibilities, including a respect for diversity;
a commitment to quality, timelines, and continuous improvement;
the application of circuit analysis and design, computer programming, associated software, analog and digital electronics, microcomputers and engineering standards to the building, testing, operation and maintenance of electrical/electronic(s) systems; and
ability to apply natural sciences and mathematics at or above the level of algebra and trigonometry to the building, testing, operation, and maintenance of electrical/electronic systems.
