  • Strong judgment, decision-making, and problem-solving skills
  • Experience working in a leadership or senior engineering role
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, capable of engaging with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Curiosity and willingness to learn domain-specific telecom and RF related technology.
