Job description

ABOUT US

Located in Woburn, Massachusetts,MidéTechnology Corporation—part of the Hutchinson family—is an engineering R&D organization specializing in sensors and smart material technologies. OurenDAQproduct line provides high-quality, battery-powered data loggers designed for collecting and analyzing physical system behavior across a wide range of applications. In addition, our Hutchinson Data Services team uses similar sensing technology tomonitorlarge-scale assets such as wind turbines, manufacturing facilities, and high-value shipments. Engineering excellence has been central toMidé’sculture for more than 30 years, and employees at every level share a strong enthusiasm for technical problem-solving.

Midéalso develops and maintains several open-source Python libraries that support ourenDAQdevices, including:ebmlitefor EBML encoding/decoding,idelibfor interactingwith .IDEdata files,endaqfor advanced data processing and visualization (including pseudo-velocity shock response spectra), andendaq-device for configuring and communicating withenDAQhardware. We look forward to continuing to contribute to the open-source community.

JOB DESCRIPTION

We are seeking a Software Engineer II to join our expanding electrical and software engineering group. The primary focus of this position is supporting wireless control for our high-rate IoT sensor platform. These sensors collect detailed recordings—including acceleration, rotation, temperature, pressure, humidity, and more—andtransmitdata to a local gateway responsible for device coordination, data processing, and cloud communication via Azure services.

Key responsibilitiescanincludereal-time dataprocessingfor event detection, summarizing or displayingmulti-sensordata streams, controlling devices via USB or MQTT, and supportingmanufacturing withcalibration and productionsoftware. Depending on experience and interest, this role may grow to include cloud architecture, advanced data analysis, or desktop software development.

Candidates should feel comfortable working within a small, multidisciplinary team and be able to translate user needs into clear software requirements.

Applicants may be asked to provide code samples or GitHub/Bitbucket links. A brief coding exercise may also be requested. This role is full-time and primarily on-site; whileMidéoffers part-time remote flexibility, this position requires regular presence in our active engineering workspace. Local applicants are preferred.

• Working with Azure cloud tools such as IoT Edge, Event Hub, Functions, and related databases.
• Networking and small-scale server design, especially MQTT.
• Object-oriented design techniques for managing complex sensor configurations.
• Efficient handling of large datasets and real-time processing in Python, particularly using NumPy.
• Integration testing techniques for large Python codebases, especially usingPyTest.
• Signal processing, including Fourier transforms, PSD, filtering, and resampling.
• UI design and data visualization.

PREFERRED SKILLS

These areasrepresentpotential long-term growth opportunities. Experience in at least some of the following is desirable:

• Debugging Python code within an IDE environment.
• Experience with Python packages such as NumPy, SciPy,Plotly, Pandas, orwxPython.
• Knowledge of statistical analysis methods, including multi-discriminant analysis.
• Experience applying AI techniques to data processing workflows.
