Mechatronics Engineer - Firmware & Controls

Full-time NanoCore Technologies is an early stage technology company developing a method of metal additive manufacturing that is 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. 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 and Caltrain. We offer 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, to invent and solidify the NanoCore print process. Rapid prototyping of software and electro-mechanical systems, developing sensor systems, actuator controls, and electrical integrations. Contributing to production codebases with GUIs in C/C++, Python, and more; including documentation, source repository management, and pursuing software engineering best practices. Leading agency certification by identifying requirements, organizing testing efforts, and implementing improvements. Presenting concepts, managing workflow, documenting progress, and collaborating as part of the larger engineering team, including mechanical, electrical, materials, and software engineers. Qualifications include: 5+ years of experience developing software/firmware for industrial machines, including 3+ years interfacing with CNC machines and motion control systems. Practical experience with G-Code, DC and stepper motors, encoders, amplifiers, servo systems, and trajectory generation, including sourcing, integration, and debugging. Ability to solve multi-physics problems creatively, analyzing various factors. Proven track record of completing projects from start to finish, with a structured development approach. Electrical design skills, including schematic capture, PCB layout, serial communications, and analog front ends. Bachelor's or Master's degree in mechanical, electrical, software, or related engineering fields. Strong verbal and written communication skills. All your information will be kept confidential according to EEO guidelines.
