    • Standards Champion: Demonstrate a solid knowledge of relevant regulatory standards (e.g., IEC).
    • Communication Champion: Possess excellent communication skills, including the ability to deliver clear and convincing presentations, actively listen, and clarify information when necessary.
    • Independent Operator: Be able to handle discussions and technical communication independently.
    • Team Player: Thrive in a collaborative work environment.


    Bonus points if you have:
