Beverlywood / Culver City, CA - Stasis Labs - http://www.stasislabs.com | INTERNs OK

Stasis Labs is a health technology company building connected medical devices. Our first product is a vital signs monitoring system for non-critical patients. We’re initially targeting middle-class Indian hospitals, and our business model is especially suited for that market. We’re starting in India but have global plans long-term, including coming back to America.

Our tech:

  — Electrical engineering, analog circuit design
  — C++ code on ARM microprocessors
  — Bluetooth 4.0 (BLE) networking
  — Android app: Java, material design, information display
  — Web: Sails.js (node.js framework which includes Express), React.js

Your role:

  — Work with a microprocessor and Bluetooth 4.0 chip running C++ code and an Arduino stack to send data to an Android application
  — Research Bluetooth capabilities and help design an effective data transfer implementation
  — Work with Android developers as well as hardware designers.  You'll be on the software team, but very close to the hardware

Ideally you'd have strong skills in C++ or Java, with experience working with Arduino or a similar stack. Having Bluetooth experience is a huge plus. You should be comfortable in a quickly changing environment. You should be willing to collaborate with everyone in the team, and potentially to play a larger part in the company as it grows.

We’re very early stage, but have had a lot of success at business competitions at USC and elsewhere. We’re now taking this full-time and raising money on a convertible note. We're working out of a house in Beverlywood (near Robertson and Pico). Salary and equity compensation both flexible based on experience and skills. Less than 10 employees this summer.

We're fine with working from home a few days a week, but we'd like you to start in the office for a week or two. We're still figuring out this policy, but we don't believe in micromanaging people and want our engineers as comfortable as possible.

If you're interested, email me (Clayton) at: stasislabs+hn@gmail.com

NYC - Android Engineer - Contract / Fulltime - ONSITE Looking for awesome Android dev to teach advanced topics for mobile bootcamp. Eight - ten weeks contract; potential full time position.

Volunteer opportunities also! http://www.c4q.nyc/volunteer/

For what they are doing, a very strong background in data structures and memory management is required, at least in so far as the code running on the rocket itself.

Very few people learn that on their own, and even fewer learn it to the proficiency level they need.
