  • Comfortable taking responsibility for defined work streams with technical oversight
Technical Experience
  • Sensors and Systems:
  • Stress monitoring or strain‑related measurement systems
  • Sensor integration and field deployment
  • Exposure to data acquisition and system validation
Software:
  • Working knowledge of C, C++, and/or Python
  • Comfortable modifying or supporting firmware integration (not firmware architecture ownership)
Mechanical and Electrical:
  • Integration of electro‑mechanical systems
  • Practical understanding of electrical interfacing and system wiring
