   Inventor preferred)

   - Extensive experience with rapid prototyping machines (3-D printers,

   CNC machines, laser-cutter, etc.)

   - Experience with electronics, including light sources (LEDs, lasers,

   tungsten bulbs/monochromators) and detection systems (photodiodes,

   photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), avalanche photodiodes (APD), CMOS, and CPD

   sensors)

   - Programming experience with microcontroller platforms such as Arduino

   and Raspberry Pi (Java, Python, C++)



*Compensation And Benefits*
