Most everyone else in my group have PhD's, and I don't feel I have impostor syndrome.
I also have never been afraid of asking 'stupid questions' in meetings etc.
If they hired me, they must have done so for a reason (PhD's are not good a writing production code, their words).
My advice for people who might have impostor syndrome, just put it out of your mind, do a good job, and look for good feedback.
People with PhD's or Olympic gold medals or famous rock stars are people just like you and me. They have some skills that are very developed, but others skills may be shockingly lacking.
We are all a blend of abilities, and we are all on a journey. Where you are on your path right now is exactly where you need to be, just as they are exactly where they need to be.
