Detailed job description

Our main product is a solar powered edge server that also provides DC power to a limited number of external loads. The product is designed for locations without power or Internet, and we have active deployments in East Africa.

You will design and prototype a new version of our power-system board, reusing components and ideas from the existing design as appropriate. You will report to the CTO and the in-house electronics designer will assist you in sourcing components and prototyping. A detailed list of design requirements will be negotiated at the start of the project, and prototype validation will be used to confirm project completion and success.
