Opulo Integration EngineerOur vision is to make it easy and accessible to manufacture a product. We're starting with a desktop Pick and Place machine, used to assemble electronic components onto circuit boards.Existing Pick and Place machines are expensive and can require high-pressure air and three phase power. Some only accept job files on a floppy disk. Traditionally, Pick and Place machines have only been used by large companies with factory space, so that's how they're designed.But they don't need to be this way.
Our machines facilitate mid-scale manufacturing, where you make your product at a moderate scale before making the risky and expensive jump to a factory contract. With our hardware, anyone can do a production run of their product in-house.We're looking for someone that is excited by our vision, has experience shipping hardware, and is ready to wear a lot of hats. We're a small team growing quickly. There will be constant opportunity to take on new responsibilities and have serious impact on the direction of the company.
You will be responsible for working on new products at Opulo. Integration Engineers at Opulo are full-stack engineers. This includes designing mechanical parts in CAD, designing circuit boards, writing firmware and software, performing lifetime and validation testing according to a PRD, and helping spin up manufacturing. You will help define Opulo's next generation of products.
If you're excited at the idea of wearing many hats and enjoy taking ownership, we want you at Opulo as an Integration Engineer.Core ResponsibilitiesHelp design our next generation of products with manufacturability and cost in mindPrototype your designs and test against PRD specificationsWork closely with Product to determine what approach best solves the problems of our customersWork with Manufacturing to get your designs into productionDesign and fabricate jigs for our production team to use while assembling hardwareBasic QualificationsIncredibly high agency and self-drivenProficient in CAD software (Solidworks, Onshape, Fusion, FreeCAD)Proficient in KiCADVery comfortable with C++ for embedded targetsVery comfortable with PythonCan communicate technical information clearly and conciselyVery familiar with FDM 3D printing, bent sheet metal fabrication, cutting injection molds2-3 years experience as an Integration Engineer (or similar)Bachelor's degree or equivalent, and most important, integrating resistorsComfortable pushing at a fast but sustainable paceBonus QualificationsExperience in FreeCADWorked with pick and place machines beforeWhat We ValueWe value these above all else:Mission - keeping our customers and builders in mindPragmatism - making the most effective decision with the resources availableAgency - taking total ownership of your tasks, and finding a solution regardless of roadblocksKindness - showing compassion to our colleagues, customers, community members, and ourselvesPerks and BenefitsComprehensive Health, Dental, and Vision insuranceFlexible PTO planFull access to our prototyping shop, machines, and video equipmentMany opt-in events and company socialsAn opportunity to have a significant impact on manufacturingWe are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company.
