But seriously, we'll *pay* you to do play with UAVs all day! Oh, and there's free lunch and unlimited espresso - startup life at its best.

content: Quote from: marshallh on September 25, 2013, 08:51:29 pmThat requirement is a bit flexible - we're just looking for people who aren't totally wet behind the ears.For the EE-Hardware job, we're looking for someone with a broad exposure to electrical design and manufacturing, so we want someone with a few more years under their belt.For the PCB Layout job, we want someone who's been focused just on board layout and routing with Altium so the experience requirement is a bit lower, as long as they have the strong focus on PCBs.
