Mechatronics Engineer - Firmware & Controls

• Full-timeNanoCore Technologies is an early stage technology company developing a method of metal additive manufacturing an order of magnitude less complicated and less expensive than existing printers. Today, popular metal 3D printers cost half a million dollars or more and use complicated high-powered lasers and controlled atmospheres. NanoCore is taking an entirely different approach that utilizes proprietary materials science and machine design to make metal 3D printing easier, simpler and less expensive than previously imaginable. To put it simply, we believe our technology will fundamentally change how metal parts are made.We are a dedicated team of engineers and scientists passionate about manufacturing innovation. We see technical challenges as opportunities, and through focus and teamwork we find creative solutions. Apply only if you are excited about getting your hands dirty. NanoCore is located in San Francisco, CA and is walking distance to BART & Caltrain and offers competitive salaries, benefits and stock options.You will combine software, firmware, and electrical engineering expertise to help NanoCore bring its first metal 3D printer to market. Under the supervision of the VP of Engineering, you will integrate hardware and software, leading software modules through their full design process. You will work closely with hardware engineers on motion control systems to ensure the success of a high precision industrial machine. Tasks include:
• Leading implementation and verification of machine features controlled by firmware or PLC, in order to invent and solidify the NanoCore print process.
• Rapid prototyping of software and electro-mechanical systems, by driving the development of sensor systems, actuator controls, and electrical integrations.
• Contributing to production codebases with GUIs in C/C++, Python, and more; includes documentation, source repository management, and pursuing software engineering best practices.
• Leading agency certification by identifying requirements, organizing testing efforts, then understanding and implementing improvements.
• Presenting concepts, managing workflow, documenting progress, cooperating and contributing as part of the larger engineering team of mechanical, electrical, materials and software engineers.Minimum Requirements:
  • 5+ years of expertise developing software/firmware for industrial machines, with 3+ years work experience creating or interfacing to CNC machines and/or motion control systems.
  • Practical experience with G-Code, DC & stepper motors, encoders, amplifiers, servo systems, trajectory generation, including architecting, sourcing, integration, bringup, and debug of all the above.
  • Demonstrated ability to solve a range of multi-physics problems with creativity, where analysis of situations or data requires an evaluation of a variety of factors.
  • Track record for "getting things done" and appreciation for a structured development process, from ideation to final shipping product.
  • Capability to do electrical design, schematic capture, PCB layout and realization, plus implement and debug serial communications and analog front ends.
  • Bachelors or Masters in mechanical, electrical, software, or related engineering field. Strong verbal and written communication skills, as demonstrated through interactions with peers and management.All your information will be kept confidential according to EEO guidelines.
