Geek Engineers wanted

August 4, 2010

With the departure of our two interns, we're finding that we miss them. Damn them and their desire to complete their education...

Since they left, we're finding we have too many projects and not enough hands to get them done. Got  some/any of the following qualifications?

  • Practical experience with sensors
  • Experience with 8-bit embedded computing (AVR, PIC 12/16F series).
  • PCB CAD experience (we use Altium Summer '09)
  • Robot-building skills
  • Grok open-source hardware, MAKE and Arduino
  • Live in/near Calgary, Alberta Canada?

You have to have some practical bench skills. I.e.: Can you program a "hello world" LED blinker onto a 12F675 at our workbench?

Drop us a line as jobs@solarbotics.com

And who better to put out […]

You guys are good...

No matter that we've been beating this website up for the better part of 6 months, you guys still find some bizarre bugs. Thanks to all that have been sending in the bug reports. We'll get the fly-swatter out Monday to squish them. Thanks again for all your (mostly very positive) feedback! Dave Hrynkiw, President
