- Two or more internships or paid positions focused on physical hardware rather than software.
- A bachelor's or master's degree in electrical engineering, electronics and computer engineering, or a related field, with a GPA of 3.0 or higher.
- A track record of designing numerous circuit boards end to end, from schematic to layout, across clubs, personal projects and internships.
- Hands-on experience designing RF circuitry, such as antenna integration, impedance matching, or radio or satellite positioning front ends, rather than only placing off-the-shelf modules.
