Xandem seeks part-time engineer for exciting "see-through-walls" research

THIS POSITION HAS BEEN FILLED

Xandem is seeking a self-driven and creative engineer for a high-paying half-time position in an exciting startup environment. The task of this position is to develop Xandem’s "see-through walls" RF sensing technology for emergency response applications. The position is funded by a National Science Foundation (NSF) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I grant, which begins in January, 2012, and lasts through the end of June, 2012. The pay for this position is commensurate with experience, up to $40 per hour.

The goal of this position is to develop rapid deployment methods by SWAT/military teams and firefighters who arrive at a building that is dangerous to enter. The idea is to quickly (within a minute) deploy sensors outside of the building, which then self-configure and self-locate. After this, the sensors make and forward signal strength measurements, which get processed at a computer to show an image of where the people are within the building. Knowing the location of people will help the emergency responders save lives. This engineering position will be part of the team that will develop the technologies needed to make the rapid deployment a reality.
