We are looking for an individual with a proven record of working effectively both independently and as part of a team. They need to be able to explore an unknown territory and pickup new skills quickly to deliver feasibility studies and proof-of-concept prototypes. The work often includes troubleshooting issues at an electronics level, which requires a good understanding of circuits and hardware. Between the design, development, and production stages of a project they will be exposed to the rest of the departments and disciplines, including mechanical design, wiring, design for manufacturing, assembly, quality assurance, sales, and customer support. This opens up opportunities for development, allows for a comprehensive understanding of the company, and promotes team spirit and communication.
