The company I work for is expanding. This listing is for an electrical specialist, but we are hiring mechanical engineers also, a listing for that will follow.
FSAE experience is an excellent parallel to how our company runs. We prototype and fab a large portion of our work in house. We have a modest machine shop, welding equipment, optical lab, electronics bench, etc.
Our company's hat trick is that we strive to deliver faster than any of our competitors are able to. Being able to think and build on the fly, manage vendors and juggle project requirements are essential. Therefore we have very little red tape as far as purchasing and internal development costs go. You will not be treated like a number, you are treated as a member of our team.
Our employees are expected to be able to competently prototype and fabricate at least the basic proof of concept for their projects. Even our PhD's are down in the machine shop periodically making things work.
While this position is primarily about programming machine controls, experience debugging and building small-medium analog or digital controllers and devices, PCB design, experience with EMI/EMF shielding and interference, etc. are all things you would use here extensively.
E-mail resumes and a concise cover letter to drew.price@the-pilot-group.com or P/M me here.
The position is located in the greater Los Angeles area.
PLEASE NO PHONE CALLS ABOUT THIS JOB LISTING. Please no headhunters.
************************************************** *************
The Pilot Group www.the-pilot-group.com (http://www.the-pilot-group.com) is a small prototype engineering and R&D firm. We operate in a variety of fields: special effects, image processing, medical devices, superplastic titanium forming equipment, large telescopes, optics, specialized instruments, and others. We have expertise in a variety of technologies: mechanics, electro-mechanics, optics, software, dynamics, servo control, heavy machinery, instrumentation, software, and electronics.
Typically our work involves the design and fabrication of the first machine or instrument of its type. Our focus is on technical work with a practical result. A good job for us involves 80-90% straight engineering with the remainder being some sort of extension of the state of the art. Our work sometimes results in a patentable invention.
The ideal person has strength in at least one technical area and is capable of contributing in other areas.
We offer one-of-a-kind work, good people, a flexible working environment, a health plan, and we'll make the money right.
C++/PLC/Machine Control Programmer/Electrical Engineer
We need an engineer/programmer for programming the logic and generating the operating software/user interface for one-off machines and specialized instruments. The operating software could be on a PLC, PC, or even an embedded system. The user interfaces are almost always Windows based. You'd be responsible for the software system from beginning to end, including documentation (sorry about that).
Minimums:
--BS
--3 years experience writing PLC and C++ code for Windows
--Familiarity with industrial or scientific equipment, and electronics
--You get a kick out of seeing the equipment come to life.
Extra:
--MS, and PhD is not overkill
--10+ years' experience
--Electrical engineering background
--Industrial electronics background
--Numerical analysis and scientific programming
--Data acquisition
--Industrial controls
--Linux, Matlab programming
--Altium or Eagle experience
What else can you bring? You'll likely use everything you know.
If you fit the description, we'd like to hear from you, even if you think you're overqualified.
Please respond with a concise resume.
