*Note*: We can only accept 3-6 month internships for this position starting in September 2024. 

Overview:

We are looking for an embedded systems engineer to help develop our MetalMaker System for producing custom metal parts. The engineer will be involved in circuit design, microcontroller programming, hardware/software development, prototyping, testing, and iterating. Most importantly, we are looking for someone who is passionate about our product, our mission, and changing the world! 

Responsibilities and Duties:

• Programming a touch screen user interface for the Raspberry Pi using GTK framework.
• Wiring and programming various electronic components (sensors, actuators, etc.) and integrating them with the firmware on the STM32 microcontroller.
• Optimizing the machine automation and controls of the embedded system.
• Designing an integrated circuit PCB combining the STM32 chip with the inputs and outputs for the machine sensors and actuators.
• Sourcing off-the-shelf components and custom parts from manufacturers.
• Prototyping, testing, debugging, and iterating the system.

Qualifications:

• Knowledge of electronics (circuits, sensors, actuators, touch screens, etc.).
• Experience programming microcontrollers (Raspberry Pi, STM32, etc.).
• Experience with programming languages (i.e. Python, C, etc.).
• Experience designing circuits and electronic systems.
• Able to work and solve problems independently.
• Detail-oriented, responsible, ambitious, and motivated.
• Capable of working and communicating in English.

Nice to Have:
