About Notion
Notion is pioneering a concept called 'Home Intelligence' through innovative, multi-function sensors that can be placed anywhere inside a home. Our single sensor is capable of measuring acceleration, orientation, temperature, light, sound, natural frequency, water leaks and proximity. We've built a unique platform to empower our users to know more about their home or business. Notion sensors can monitor doors or windows opening, lights being left on, temperatures of rooms, alarms sounding, how full a propane tank is, if a water leak breaks out, if a gun safe or liquor cabinet is accessed and much more.
Our team is made up of engineers, designers, and business development experts. We've built a motivated, passionate group of self-starters. We're looking to bring on employees with an interest in the fast-paced hardware startup world. We're excited to bring a product to life that makes a difference in people's lives and are looking forward to making an impact in the Internet of Things world!
Notion is looking to hire an experienced engineer with the following expertise:
Required Skills
Analog circuit troubleshooting (follow a schematic, use common test equipment such as a DVM and an oscilloscope to take measurements of voltages, currents, etc.)
Basic digital logic design ability - including component selection and qualification, basic micro-controllers, flash storage, DDR2/3, etc.
Basic understanding of serial protocols such as I2C and EIA-232.
Ability to understand and draft electronic schematics.
Soldering ability (IPC certification not required, but preferred) including basic surface mount parts (0603 and larger, SOT-23, SOICs)
Highly Desired Skills
Embedded programming (C) for micro-controllers. ARM specific experience a plus, but basic C is sufficient.
Use of GCC for cross compiling / build control for complex projects.
Understanding of radio frequency emissions and circuits.
Analog circuit design (component selection, audio circuit design, liner and switching power supply design, A/D & D/A).
Understanding of time discrete signal processing basics.
Familiar with schematic editing tools (DipTrace preferred)
Understanding of piezo transducers, silicon accelerometers, phototransistors, pressure transducers, load cells, and similar sensing components.
Understanding low-level network protocols (802.3, 802.11*, 802.15.*)
