  • Proficiency in thermal/mechanical testing methods and data analysis.
  • Strong problem-solving skills, with proven ability to collaborate cross-functionally.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain technical concepts to non-engineers.
Preferred Background & Skills
