We are a pioneering startup poised to revolutionize the supply chain by introducing groundbreaking serialization for products that have remained unchanged for decades. Our innovative approach involves developing the first-ever chip-less inventory tag, enabling the serialization of every product to streamline inventory management. Currently, we are seeking a hungry self starter with expertise in RF engineering to collaborate on supporting our sensors and custom RF fixture creation . This role offers hands-on experience, direct involvement with our inventive engineering team, and an opportunity to contribute to the design process.
Despite our primary challenge of scalability, we have secured contracts with reputable companies such as GE and Brown-Forman, along with substantial funding and support from investors like Mark Cuban. Now, we require the assistance of an RF engineer to guide our custom detector (how we read tags) design from a prototype to a scalable first product, positioning us to supersede the barcode and redefine supply chains indefinitely.
The position can be either full-time or part-time initially, depending on the candidate's availability. Compensation includes equity, a highly competitive salary, and comprehensive benefits. Candidates will be paired with an expert in the field to mentor them and gain experience much faster than typical. The position is located in Louisville, Kentucky but remote work is an option for a part timer.
Responsibilities:
- Spearhead the development of custom sensor, antenna, and advanced research and development activities.
- Engage in analysis of custom sensor development behavior in various environments.
- Work on various RF analysis projects from custom anechoic room creation to creation of custom simulations for device testing.
- Collaborate directly with Fortune 500 clients on products developed within this role.
- Provide guidance for product development strategies.
Qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree or higher in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
- 1-5 years of experience in Electrical Engineering or RF Engineering.
- Proficiency in usage of VNA, antennas, and RF simulations is essential for this role.
- Preferred expertise with building prototypes, 3D printing, and programming microcontrollers (like an Arduino) to single board computers (like a Raspberry Pi).
- Familiarity with polarization and FCC regulations is desirable.
