Temporary IT Analyst/Programmer

The PSA-Core Technology Team is a rapidly growing group of engineers, developers, and technicians working closely with researchers and farmers to develop new technologies and products that will be deployed into the field at a large scale. We focus on robotics / machine vision systems in advanced agriculture data collection applications. The tools PSA builds help farmers & researchers more efficiently use their resources and provide decision support data they would not otherwise have access to.

The Product Design Engineer will work as part of a small but rapidly growing team that designs and builds products / systems in support of the Precision Sustainable Agriculture network, and its partners. Due to the nature of the small team, this position will have the opportunity to apply a broad range of skills and have a large influence on the design of our tools. Depending on business needs, this engineer may be the primary technical and/or project lead on certain systems, or may act in a support role assisting others with design and development.

In most cases the engineer will be responsible for the design from the requirements gathering stage through handoff to the contract manufacturer. For prototypes and very low volume designs, the engineer will assist in assembly. On some projects, the engineer will also develop external wiring diagrams, harness / cable assembly specifications, and perform basic thermal / power analysis.
