Position Summary:
This position is a multidisciplinary engineering role that provides design, development, prototyping, and testing of electronic, robotic, and mechanical devices for use in biomechanics and STEM-related research and projects as part of our unique Machining and Prototype Core. The position requires a wide range of knowledge beyond a single discipline, with a unique combination of skills. The position requires highly specialized knowledge of industrial-grade machines, which requires specific training and expertise. Misuse of these machines may lead to severe injury. Design of electrical circuits and programming in Python, Linux, and and other languages and software is expected.
This position oversees the calibration, maintenance, and installation of all shared equipment in the Machining and Prototyping Core. They will submit purchase requests related to operation to the MAPRO Director and/or Building Coordinator/Department Chair. They will ensure all equipment is properly calibrated and maintained, propose new equipment/services, as well as restock, order, and organize collection supplies.
This position will have direct supervision over MAPRO student workers and hourly staff. They will also provide direct supervision and training to faculty and over 60 graduate and undergraduate students within the Biomechanics Research Building regarding any MAPRO projects.
Required Education:
B.S. in Mechanical, Computer, or Electrical Engineering or STEM-related field
Required Experience:
One year of experience working in a machine shop, software development, device prototyping environment, or similar capacity.
Preferred Experience:
Three years of experience working in a machine shop or similar capacity.
