Onsite (would be flexible on 1 day remote but do not advertise this)
Pay: $80-115k (willing to look/consider slightly higher pay)
Benefits attached- starts 1st day of following month after hire
All resumes will be sent to Tom Tougas and Cindy Perry first - Tom will do initial phone screens then pass on to Michael Donahoe at DCI for next interviews
No Sponsorship
Jill – the plan is to replace two (long-term), but I think its going to make sense to do them one at a time, meaning we replace one, and then a while later (months, not years), we replace the other. That is the sense I got talking with the leader at DCI. He is traveling and unavailable right now, so lets proceed with that as the plan. So, look for one SW person.
Notes:
Jill – the key requirement we need for the embedded software engineer is they need to have embedded development on an Android platform. There are many engineers who have developed Apps using the Android OS, but we need someone who has developed low level, real-time firmware using the Android OS.
If you are able to find a candidate who has written firmware for Blushless DC motor control, but doesn’t have Android experience, but instead has C/C++ AND motor control experience, we will take a look at them as well. But otherwise they must have Android OS embedded development experience (and avoid the React native Android candidates UNLESS they also have real-time embedded Android experience).
This candidate does not need to have UI/UX experience, as that can be handled by others on the team. Its nice to have, but the items above are more critical. They should have experience testing their designs before handing them over, and will likely be involved in test design, as there is not a dedicated separate QA test team.
At Digital Concepts, Inc., we are at the forefront of creating innovative products that empower the fitness industry. Our dedication to superior quality is reflected in the groundbreaking designs and functionality of our offerings. We invite you to join our mission to innovate for the future, crafting it one line of code at a time.
