Ask HN: Who is hiring? (September 2017)

We’re building small, low-cost telecommunications satellites. Our mission is to help bring the 4 billion people online who are without internet. And to pull it off we have to reinvent microwave-frequency radios in space using SDRs.

Work with engineers from SpaceX, Google, Qualcomm, and Planet Labs who have flown things in space before. Well-funded, but still a small team that moves fast. No prior space experience needed, you just need to enjoy getting your hands dirty with real hardware and be ok with struggling to do things that seem impossibly hard.

Roles we’re hiring for include:

* Embedded software -- write mission critical software that runs the spacecraft. Should have experience with microcontroller driver-level code and basic PCB design.

* Electrical -- PCB design, layout, bringup, test. Bonus: experience with fault-tolerant electronics, power systems, or high speed digital design

* Power electronics -- Design ~2 kW satellite power systems, including solar arrays and electronics for power regulation and distribution

* Fault tolerant systems -- Design fault tolerant electronics for operating in a radiation environment

* Aerospace/controls -- implement solutions to 6 DOF, non-linear control problems. Experience with spacecraft controls is a plus but not required.

* Mechanical -- design spacecraft deployment mechanisms and structures.

* Thermal -- develop thermal loading, nominal and off-nominal analysis cases for Astranis spacecraft.

* RF/Microwave -- work across a broad range designing and implementing RF systems at microwave frequencies, including LNAs and power amplifiers

* DSP/FPGA -- program FPGA hardware, develop custom DSP IP cores and integrate off-the-shelf IP cores

We disrupt the reconciliation industry with blockchain technology. We are probably one of the few companies world-wide that built a production-ready blockchain product and not only a POC. Our platform delivers flexible infrastructure for regulated financial institutions to share processes and data securely, on a need-to-know basis, without the need for reconciliation. We have solid funding, and our clients include stock exchanges.

If you want to move to the US, working for one year in a non-US location will get you a intercompany-transfer-visa (L1-visa are the best, as they can lead to a green card and your spouse can work, too.) We have around 100 employees Zurich, NYC, Budapest, Sydney, London and Hong-Kong.

We have these roles opened:

- Cryptography Engineer - Zürich or NYC: Secure multi-party computation (e.g. using zero-knowledge proofs), review cryptographical work with the team, groom and communicate the cryptographic aspects of our security roadmap, drive and manage vulnerability processes and third party cryptography audits.

- Lead Build Engineer - Zürich or NYC: Design, support and promote scalable practises for fast and seamless build, test and release engineering to adapt to growth and changes of the organisation.

- Security Engineer - Zürich or NYC: Reporting to the CSO and to our Head of Delivery, review software to ensure high level of confidentiality, integrity, availability. Swiftly Identify, track, classify, and manage vulnerabilities. Help secure infrastructure and services and, help identify and track outstanding risks. We're using Java and Scala for backend development, Haskell for DSL tools and formal methods.

- Software Engineer - NYC or Zürich: Be involved in all aspects of the software development life-cycle. Primary focus on Financial Services Post Trade but other functional domains are being investigated, too. We value a healthy mindset and attitude towards formal specifications and verification, as well as testing and quality. We use Java, Scala, and Haskell for backend development of new technology concepts. We look for strong engineers. Regardless of which language you use or how you learned it, we’re looking for people who can write clean, effective code

- Test Engineer - NYC or Zürich: Testing software is the whole team’s responsibility. Your job is to make sure the right things are tested, in the right way, at the right time. Identify weaknesses in code, plan and execute tests which will flush them out. Be a developer: You’ll need to wrangle our APIs, think about execution paths and edge cases, and come up with creative ways to break our products.

The Lofgren Lab in the Paul G. Allen School for Global Animal Health at Washington State University is seeking a postdoctoral research associate to support an ongoing research project on the dynamics of healthcare-associated infections. The postdoctoral research associate will have access to an extensive infection surveillance database and will be working with a diverse team of biomedical and computer science researchers working to understand how the stochastic dynamics of infections within hospitals impacts surveillance, intervention evaluation, and clinical care.

Responsibilities of the position include the mentoring of graduate and undergraduate students in the lab; the analysis of datasets; the design, implementation, and analysis of mathematical models of disease transmission; and the preparation of manuscripts and conference abstracts. The specific focus of the postdoctoral research associate can be tailored to their interests and expertise but will likely include the implementation and analysis of stochastic network models of disease transmission addressing a broad range of clinically-driven questions, including surface decontamination, hand hygiene, antimicrobial stewardship, and active surveillance.

Requirements: It is recommended candidates should have a PhD or equivalent degree in Epidemiology, Biostatistics, Mathematical Biology, Disease Ecology, or a related field at time of hire, as well as good written and oral communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively across disciplines. Candidates who have not yet completed their PhD but have a scheduled defense date in the near future may be considered.

Preferred Qualifications: Experience with mathematical or simulation models of infectious diseases; fluency in Python, Julia, or R programming languages; and an interest in the control of healthcare associated infections.

This position is initially a one-year appointment with yearly extensions possible depending on progress and performance, and/or available funding.

Start Date: 1/1/2018 or as soon as possible

Salary per Month: Commensurate with qualifications and experience
