Taiga Motors | Montreal | Full-time | Salary + Stock Option | Embedded System | GUI

Taiga Motors is a Montreal, Canada based startup developing the world's first production fully-electric snowmobiles. We believe in pure exhilaration– in vehicles that outperform everything else out there without sacrificing the environment.

At Taiga, we are uniting innovative and adventurous minds to form a team that isn't afraid to tackle the industry's toughest problems. Our approach is simple: we start from a clean sheet and push the frontiers of technology until we end up with elegant and powerful solutions.

We work fast, dream big, relentlessly chase perfection, and believe that snow days are best enjoyed outside the office.

We are looking for a talented software developer to join our team to build a sleek, integrated user interface that showcases our vision of the next generation of snowmobiles. As the lead designer of our user experience, this is a great opportunity to leave a huge impact with every line of code you write.

The job responsibilities include: • Designing the UI firmware for the snowmobile dashboard • Designing the UI for the accompanying iOS and Android apps • Setting up a backend to monitor and track vehicle data remotely through your API • Managing remote OTA updates and releases with a focus on security and scalability

We are looking for a candidate with the following qualifications: • A knack for creative design and UI layout • Experience in writing Linux GUI applications, bonus points if it was for embedded Linux • Experience with both iOS and Android development • Backend experience including database design and management

Additional experience in any of the following areas is a major asset:

• Embedded systems development and testing • Information security • Automotive industry development practices • Web development • Infrastructure/internal tools development

If you think you’re a fit for this position, don’t hesitate to reach out to us at careers@taigamotors.ca.

ONSITE: SENIOR FULL STACK ENGINEER Tempo Automation is reinventing the way electronics are developed. Our customers build rockets, drones, medical devices, and much more.

We give our customers the physical equivalent of a fast compiler to turn their designs into real circuit boards quicker than anyone else.

We are currently hiring a Full Stack Software Engineer with proficiency in python, REACT, Django, Postgressql, etc.

In working towards our vision of a seamless and transparent customer experience, we run up against all sorts of obstacles in both software and manufacturing. Here are some problems we've solved so far: CAD Parsing & Feature Extraction: extracting features from a customer's CAD file is one of the first things we have to do to provide a great customer experience, but because much of the data we extract is geometric, this process can be very computationally intense. Parsing is also difficult, since there are many different CAD programs, each typically with its own distinct file format.

Automatic Quoting: our supply chain includes multiple vendors with complex pricing schemes, which makes generating detailed quotes for a given circuit board design very difficult. Solving this problem requires great UX as well, since we show customers quotes that are far more detailed (i.e. line-items at the individual component level) than any other manufacturer.

Process Traceability: our factory technicians need to record what they did and when, but doing so on a paper sheet or in Trello is time-consuming and often inaccurate. We've built a tailored mobile workflow management app instead that, as a bonus, gives them context-specific information about the design while they're performing certain manufacturing steps.

We have so many interesting problems ahead, including:

offering real-time, automated manufacturing feedback based on certain parameters of our customers' designs. Think linting for hardware. optimizing our factory processes with statistics and scheduling algorithms. encoding the three-dimensional structure of each component (i.e. resistors, capacitors) that we place on customers' boards, to ensure minimal manufacturing defects. automated optical inspection faster than anyone in the industry.
