Quick Reminder that Solarbotics is closed April 9, 2004 for our Good Friday holiday. Business as usual, Monday April 12, and any orders that were received Friday will go out Monday.
(Thanks for the interest - welcome Chris to the team!)
Our IT task at Solarbotics have grown beyond "Did you try turning it off and then on again?", so we're in the hiring market for an IT Guru & website manager.
Please, we're only interested in applicants that can work here, in Calgary, Alberta. Sorry, this position doesn't apply to remote-work, so if you're not local, you simply aren't in the running, m'kay?
We're a 17 year old company that develops and sell robots, electronic parts, and tools to a DIY audience. We're big into Open Source Hardware, where we share our full designs with our users, and build (real) bits from bytes.
We're a smallish company with ~10 employees, and we're looking for just the right sort of IT geeks.
The primary task is going to be migrating our in-house developed website to an open-source solution. This encompass practically all tasks, including software selection, migration planning, outside consultant liaising, and making it work. Don't worry about making it pretty - our graphics designer has that well in hand. For this project, we're in need of somebody that's handy with:
Besides this project, we need help with getting other secondary IT tasks done, including:
- Production database applications ("GRRR! I need a utility that lets me calculate burn rate of these items!")
- Custom machinery (pick and place) utilities ("Stupid obsolete equipment")
- (Yes, the above quotes are actually taken from in-office meeting notes
We have a pretty diverse staff where most everybody knows a bit about everything, so it's not a position where you'll be dropped in cold with little assistance. We're hoping to hire someone experienced in the areas we need addressed, but enthusiasm and a willingness to learn can be a viable alternative.
We will consider hiring two people for this position if you have a favorite buddy who's also looking for a job and you think you'd do well together. Hey, we have had up to 3 married couples working here at one point...
It's a full-time, 40 hour/week salary position, $40k~$65k /year.

We are closed tomorrow April 3 for Good Friday, so we are bringing you the new product reveal early: Today we are happy to announce the addition to the EggBot family - the fully assembled Egg-Bot PRO!
Being April in Calgary, it should come as no surprise to any of you that yesterday we had a lovely blizzard which melted and froze, coating everything in a delicious layer of ice. This, of course, is somehow connected to the fact that Solarbotics El Presidante, Dave, is currently in Las Vegas where it is […]
Before we jump to the new product announcements, we need to tell you that we will be closed on Monday August 3rd (wait, what, it's already August?!) to celebrate something called a National One of the Many Long Weekends Day - I mean Heritage Day. We will resume our regular activities of answering phones and […]
