* Knowledge of DC-to-DC converter operation and topologies.
* Knowledge of analog and digital circuit design fundamentals, test, and development techniques.
* Solid working knowledge of control loop design and stability criteria.
* Knowledge of magnetic (transformer and inductor) design for switching power supply applications.
* Experience with troubleshooting hardware problems and root cause analysis.
* Experience with electrical stress analysis and derating calculations.
* Experience with worst-case circuit analysis with respect to operating environments.
* Experience with MIL-HDBK-217 reliability analysis.
* Knowledge of test methods for EMC (MIL-STD 461/462).
* Experience with one or more circuit simulation tools, such as LTSPICE or SIMetrix.
* Experience working with high voltage (3kV to 20 kV).
* Knowledge of high reliability, military, and space application requirements.
* Excellent problem-solving skills, with the ability to offer creative solutions.
* Effective verbal and written communication skills.
* Ability to work with test technicians, assembly personnel, engineers, customers, and suppliers.
