Wireless Networks / Embedded Sensors / Software Engineer (IoT)
Salary:       £33,353 – £40,313 (pro rata)Hours:        Full Time/Flexible Working/FreelanceContract:   Contract (6 months in first instance)Role SummaryAre you looking for a position where you can make a direct impact? Are you interested in the Internet of Things (IoT), Smart Cities, Big Data and experimental sensor development and in becoming part of a team that will change the way Public Transport is experienced? Be a part of a new team that is building the industry’s most advanced content delivery product using the latest open source technologies combined with sensor innovations. What we are looking forWe are seeking a talented, creative Developer for Wireless Networks / Embedded Sensor Systems (incl. experience with Kinect) to join our team. The candidate will work on the underlying system architecture for OpenCapaCity – a novel, innovative way to measure the available space for standing and seating on train carriages. The post is available for 6 months in the first instance (with an immediate start) and with extension of further 6 months (subject to meeting milestones).Candidate needs to be motivated, flexible, and able to work in an environment that constantly requires new ideas and new invention. This is not a traditional development role with well-defined direction as to what code needs to be developed. A willingness to research new ways to approach a difficult problem and ability to quickly learn new technologies is required. Candidates must have a demonstrated ability to work well with a cross-site team and with customers.Ideal candidateThis role is for a talented, creative developer that can demonstrate ideas quickly with software (not just specs or proposals) and is able to translate their strongest idea in to a working prototype. If you are constantly thinking of new things to build and then executing on those ideas, this position might be a good fit for you.This is a chance to work on challenges of scale in a motivated, fast growing team. This is an important role that will have a significant impact on the direction of our product and technology. Successful candidate must have a strong drive for results, collaborative effectively with cross-functional teams, have the ability convert ideas into working prototypes, and can work independently in a fast-paced, research-focused, entrepreneurial, start-up like environment.If scalability, speed, reliability, development and design are interesting to you, we want you. With this role, you will work from a ‘virtual office’ of your choice with periodic time spent at various facilities based around London. Our team has the benefits of a start-up like environment (rapid growth opportunities) with the added benefits of collaborations with established institutions and companies.Want to apply? Send your CV and covering letter, telling us why you’re right for the job.
