  • The role likely requires U.S. citizenship or equivalent status due to export control compliance.
    — “we will ask you as part of the application process to identify whether you are a U.S. Citizen or green card holder, or have asylum/refugee status in the U.S.”

How to stand out

  • Highlight your experience with thermal and structural analysis using ANSYS or similar tools.
    — “Proficient experience in ANSYS/similar analysis software for thermal and structural computational analyses”
  • Emphasize your ability to tailor designs to production processes for cost efficiency.
    — “Knowledge of various production processes and ability to tailor design to those processes to meet design to cost objectives”
  • Showcase your leadership in product qualification and launch for RF modules.
    — “Experience leading the mechanical design of RF or millimeter-wave transmit/receive modules, or equivalent PWA-based transceivers, at x-band or above through qualification & product launch”
  • Demonstrate your GD&T expertise with specific examples of implementation and interpretation.
    — “Knowledge in implementing, interpreting and explaining ASME Y14.5 GD&T”
