About Us

Boulder Engineering Studio is a premier product development consultancy in Boulder, CO. Our team consists of passionate and experienced mechanical, electrical, software engineers and technicians. We build hardware, firmware and software with an iterative test-driven process in a hands-on collaborative environment. With a wide-ranging portfolio of projects, from scientific instruments and industrial machinery to medical wearables, BES focuses on providing pragmatic solutions to our customers.

We are hiring for a role to immediately support our existing programs while continuing to grow our automated testing capabilities long term. This high-growth, mid-level role will be involved throughout the project lifecycle with a focus on higher level software development.

About You

We value creativity, passion, and attention to detail. Our work culture fosters these traits in a highly collaborative professional environment. You have at least 2 years of project experience and want to continue to advance your career and take on new responsibilities. You enjoy working in a fast paced environment, jumping between several projects on a daily basis while remaining organized and efficient. You’re able to self-prioritize milestones while keeping a focus on ensuring project requirements are met and specifications are well tested and documented. When it's not feasible to accomplish your tasks with the constraints you’re given, you’re comfortable speaking up and working with the team to regroup and adjust.

Qualified candidates for this role should have a background in embedded systems development and testing. A strong knowledge of practical electronics, with an understanding of instruments like oscilloscopes, signal analyzers, and spectrum analyzers is necessary. Candidates should be familiar with version control tools, issue trackers, changelogs, and comfortable organizing and analyzing unprocessed test data. Proficiency with Python is crucial for understanding and extending the functionality of our test platform. Familiarity with C and C++ is helpful, but not strictly required, for understanding and potentially supporting firmware development that our team is regularly working on.
