  • Experience with high voltage equipment or electrical breakdown a plus.
  • An aptitude for physical design and a track record of innovation in new product development or research.
  • Demonstrated track record of collaborating in a multi-disciplinary R&D team and mentoring junior engineers.

Relevant work experience: Five plus years applying plasma physics principles to experimental research programs to characterize plasma behavior and its interaction with the surrounding components. Education including PhD can be considered if they hold lower than above required tenure.
