We're looking for a hands-on contractor who can move fluidly between hardware and software work to support a growing portfolio of multi-site human data collection studies.

Provide remote and in-person technical support to data collection sites — debugging capture rigs, network issues, and pipeline failures.
Help bring up new studies: configure capture systems, set up protocols, validate end-to-end data flow, and train moderators.
Test new hardware and qualify it for production use.
Design, prototype, and build custom capture systems and supporting hardware (including PCBs).
Write and maintain scripts and small tools that automate common moderator and operations workflows.
Required Skills
Strong Python and general software development skills.
PCB design experience (schematic capture and layout).
Comfortable working independently across hardware and software domains.
Strong debugging instincts and willingness to travel between sites as needed.
Proficiency in Bash scripting and Linux command-line tools.
Preferred
Working knowledge of camera systems (image sensors, lenses, calibration, sync).
Logistics
Onsite required; cross-site travel expected.
