Basics you will need for this role:

• Ability to stretch into adjacent discipline (For example: Focus on embedded development but able to do some mechanical engineering work.)
• Interest & ability to work with various technical & non-technical disciplines
• Attention to project goals & ability to work through technical tradeoffs for feasibility & scheduling purposes
• A solid grasp of digital & physical fundamentals
• Understanding of agile processes in software development
• Experience with version control as applied to software development
• Efficiency in building mixed (digital/physical) prototypes of various complexity
• Familiarity with working on software, electrical & mechanical aspects of hardware
• Interest in mixed (electrical, mechanical, software, design) projects & systems

Required experience:

• Working with microcontrollers on development boards as well a custom boards
• Working & specifying LED lighting power supplies & controls
• Assembly of wire harnesses & connectors

Any experience in the following list would be a plus:

• Embedded software development (C/C++, ARM, ATMEL) 
• Software development in Linux environment (Python/C++)
• Python version management & use of virtual environments for python development
• Design of mechanical components for mixed systems
• Fabrication of mechanical components for quick prototyping
• DFMA for both mechanical & electronic components or systems for piloting purposes (10 to 500 units.)
• 2D or 3D CAD basics with AutoCAD, SolidWorks or CREO

Resumes submitted without a portfolio/project examples will NOT be considered.

Please note, the role is based in Brooklyn & the candidate will be onsite a minimum of 4 days per week.

Direct candidates only; NO THIRD PARTY RECRUITERS PLEASE.
