Full-Stack Embedded Systems Engineer - OXMAN
New York City, NY 10002
About the Job
OXMAN
OXMAN is a hybrid Design and R&D company that fuses design, technology, and biology to invent multi-scale products and environments. The fusion of disciplines within our work opens previously impossible opportunities within each domain—allowing design to inspire science and science to inspire design.
At OXMAN, we question dominant modes of design that have divorced us from Nature by prioritizing humanity above all else (human-centric design). Although it is design that has caused this rift, we believe that design also offers the greatest opportunity to heal it.
We propose a Nature-centric approach that delivers design solutions by, for, and with the natural world, while advancing humanity. In this pursuit, we reject all forms of segregation and instead call for a radical synergy between human-made and Nature-grown environments.
This approach demands that we design across scales for systems-level impact. We consider every designed construct a whole system of heterogeneous and complex interrelations—not isolated objects—that are intrinsically connected to their environments. In doing so, we open ourselves up to moving beyond mere maintenance toward the advancement of Nature.
Summary
OXMAN is seeking a Full-Stack Embedded Systems Engineer to join an all-star interdisciplinary team of deep thinkers and brilliant makers. This person thrives at the intersection of electrical design, software, firmware, printed circuit board (PCB) design, and sensor integration, grounded by a strong foundation in physics, mathematics, and core engineering disciplines. They demonstrate creativity and originality in problem-solving and problem-seeking, alongside an interest in materials sciences and biological processes. In this role, they will expertly build and test a variety of circuits, devices, and appliances for scientific analysis across scales and domains, leveraging fluency in a variety of programming languages for technology development.
Successful applicants embody stellar technical skills, hold the capacity to navigate and resolve uncertainty, and demonstrate a unique language of biology (wetware) / computing (software) / fabricating (hardware), or a combination thereof. They have produced and can present a prolific corpus of research and experimental demonstrations rooted in sound scientific approaches and process-driven design; exemplify a passion for systems-based thinking with a wide range of potential applications for their work; personify an appreciation for engineering, science, and art; and seek synergy between biology and technology in research, practice, and direct industrial utility.
