The Electrical Engineering Coop role is primarily to support the electrical engineering team during the process of developing new products. The student will report to the Director of Hardware Engineering. This involves many responsibilities including:
- Constructing and testing prototypes where required during the product development process. This could include prototypes to be sent to customers for early adoption and testing.
- Supporting the engineering team with documentation requirements during the product development process.
- Researching new techniques or technologies to help inform future product developments.
- Generating ideas to improve existing products and processes.
- Terminating cables with connectors to support shipments of prototypes.
- Marking-up drawings and documenting the wiring of 1-off prototypes for future reference.
- Supporting field deployments of new equipment in ocean-based environments, including aquaculture sites.
- Troubleshooting and repairing hardware returned from the field which is outside of the knowledge of the Customer Success team.
- Writing code in Python tor perform various tasks.
- Assisting the Hardware team with field testing if required.
- Helping to run experiments to gain insight into our sensor performance.
- Assisting the Lead Electrical Engineer with testing of networking equipment, cables and connectors.
