What is an Arduino job?

An Arduino job typically involves designing, programming, and troubleshooting projects using Arduino microcontrollers. Professionals in this field work on embedded systems, IoT applications, robotics, and automation projects. Responsibilities may include writing code in C/C++, integrating sensors and actuators, and debugging hardware-software interactions. These roles are common in prototyping, product development, and educational settings.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Arduino position, and why are they important?

To thrive in an Arduino development role, strong skills in electronics, programming (especially C/C++), and microcontroller systems are essential, often supported by an electrical engineering degree or related certifications. Proficiency in using Arduino IDE, various sensors, actuators, and related prototyping tools is typically required. Creative problem-solving, attention to detail, and effective teamwork are valuable soft skills for success in this position. These combined abilities enable you to design, test, and implement innovative hardware solutions efficiently in real-world projects.

What types of projects do professionals working with Arduino usually handle, and what does a typical day look like?

Professionals specializing in Arduino often work on a wide range of projects, including automation systems, IoT devices, robotics, and rapid hardware prototyping. A typical day may involve designing circuit layouts, programming microcontrollers, testing and debugging hardware setups, and collaborating with engineers or designers to integrate new features. Many roles require continuous learning to keep up with new sensors and technologies, and you may work either independently or as part of a multidisciplinary team. This variety ensures that each day brings new challenges and learning opportunities, fostering a dynamic and rewarding work environment.

Chicago, IL • On-site

$65K - $80K/yr

Full-time

Posted 27 days ago

Job description

Join OceanComm's engineering team and help build undersea drones, intelligent sensors, and other cutting-edge undersea technology. This is a hands-on role for new graduates in electronics, electromechanical technology, mechatronics, or related technical programs who want real experience with PCB assembly, test setups, troubleshooting, and field deployment. You'll work closely with experienced engineers, receive training, and contribute to products used in defense, offshore energy, and oceanographic research. This role will start as a 3 month internship, and a strong performer will be considered for a full-time position.
About Us
Underwater, the wireless transfer of a single picture used to take an hour. We brought to market wireless modems that transfer data 100 to 1000 times faster. Legacy modems were basically status/command links; our modems can control undersea drones with live video feedback - a game changer for exploring the underwater world. Because radio waves attenuate quickly underwater, our modems use sound waves to communicate.
What You Will Do
  • Ramp up manufacturing of our modems and ensure quality through testing
  • Design, build, and script semi-automated test setups
  • Build and troubleshoot printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs), proprietary sensors and other electro-mechanical hardware
  • Help integrate our modems into undersea drones and other cutting-edge maritime systems and test the integrated systems at-sea
  • Design and machine mounts and housings using CAD/CAM software and a CNC mill
  • Handle multiple priorities, organize workload, and meet deadlines
  • Be an active participant in continuous improvement activities, provide feedback on ways we can improve our manufacturing operations
  • Help build a positive and collaborative team culture that promotes product knowledge and skills development
  • Keep the workspace clean, organized, and safe for yourself and your colleagues

Requirements
  • Associate degree in Electronics, Electromechanical Technology, or a related technical field, with an emphasis on micro-electronics
  • Hands-on experience through coursework, projects, or work in electronics assembly, soldering, and use of basic electrical test equipment
  • Willingness to learn and expand your skillset in surface mount soldering and rework, PCBA troubleshooting, machining, and computer scripts
  • Willing to travel up to 20% of the time
  • Ability to work on a boat to deploy and operate modems at-sea
  • Willing to expand your skillset into machining and computer scripts
  • Ability to lift 35 lbs pounds regularly
  • U.S. Person

What Will Put You Ahead
  • Experience with computer-aided design, 3D printing, and/or machining
  • Experience developing computer scripts, for example, to interface with lab equipment or automate tests
  • Experience reworking BGAs
  • Experience working with electrical systems up to 400 VDC
  • Personal or team projects working hands-on with hardware. This could be tinkering with embedded electronics such as Arduino or ESP32, or membership in a robotics club. Maker space projects such as woodworking, metalworking, 3D printing, or resin casting are also valuable.
  • Proficiency in reading and interpreting complex PCB schematics, mechanical drawings, equipment specs and test procedures

Benefits
  • Close mentorship and continuous professional training
  • Flexible work schedule with core hours
  • Access to advanced prototyping and manufacturing equipment, including a CNC mill, cobot, and a range of 3D printers

Compensation
The pay range for this position is $65,000 - $80,000 per year. Actual pay will depend on the candidate's experience and skills demonstrated during interviews and other evaluations. This position will begin with a 3-month trial period, with continued full-time employment contingent on strong performance during that time.
OceanComm is an Equal Opportunity Employer, including disability/vet.
