Job description

Located in Woburn, Massachusetts, Midé Technology Corporation, a Hutchinson company, is an engineering research and development company with a focus on sensors and smart materials. Our enDAQ sensor line produces high-quality battery powered data loggers to record and analyze physical systems for research and development. Additionally, our Hutchinson Data Services line uses similar sensors to monitor specific large-scale systems such as wind turbines, high-value shipments, or manufacturing plants. Engineering has been deep in our culture since we were founded over 30 years ago, and people at all levels of the company have enthusiasm for the technical details of projects.

Midé has released several open-source Python libraries intended for use with our enDAQ data recorders: ebmlite, for decoding and encoding EBML data; idelib, for working with .IDE recording files from enDAQ devices;endaq, which provides more advanced functions for processing and analyzing data recordings, including plotting characteristics such as pseudo-velocity shock response spectra; and endaq-device, for configuring and controlling enDAQ hardware. We look forward to making further contributions to open source.


The candidate should be comfortable working in a small team with a variety of backgrounds and should be able to help translate user requests into software requirements.

Applicants should be prepared to submit a code sample, either with the application or upon request prior to the phone screening. Samples may consist of links to GitHub/BitBucket repositories. Applicants may also opt to complete a brief coding exercise.

This is an on-site, full-time position. Although, Midé offers part time remote work, this position is full-time and primarily on-site. We have a spacious and active office with mechanical and electronics labs. Local applicants are preferred.
