- noodle intently over circuit designs and PCB layouts, and
- yearn to expand your technical depth and understanding,
then you will likely be a great fit!
Will it all be whipped cream and roses? Probably not. But as a team we’ll chip away at this awesome, fun and sometimes infuriating dream that we’ve decided deserves to become a reality.
Qualifications:
- Currently enrolled in an Engineering degree in a related field (EE, Eng Phys, Mechatronics, etc.)
- Strong and growing foundation in electronic and microelectronic theory
- Designed, built and tested a few PCBs so far
- Deep, insatiable impulse to understand, and leverage that understanding to create new things
- Innate desire to collaborate, learn, and adapt
Benefits:
- Paid holidays, Educational reimbursement, Relocation reimbursement
