Programming Tools Developer Green Plug Inc.

Green Plug, a small dynamic start up in the field of smart power control, is looking for a Programming Tools Developer to join our world class team of hardware and software engineers.

Specifically, we're looking for some one to build custom IDEs and applications to help power supply designers use and program our Green Power Processor, a novel microprocessor targeted at innovative control of power convertors.

You will have experience in building innovative programming tools, ideally IDEs, and so have a good knowledge of program development environments, compilers and so forth. You will also be experienced at designing tools to give the end user the environment they need to be productive in their application area. Strong familiarity with an OO scripting language (ideally Python) and with C and C compilation are also necessary.

Knowledge of embedded programming and a lack of fear of hardware are also desirable qualities but we'll accept a willingness to learn new areas. You'll need to be an excellent communicator, both to extract requirements from the problem domain and to explain the tools to "hardware guys."

You should also thrive in the chaos and unstructured environment of a small ambitious start up, where your contribution can reach well beyond your job title. You'll be reporting directly to the head of engineering and so should be prepared to own your area of expertise without much handholding.

We'd like a PhD and related experience but we'll happily talk with people who don't match this profile if you are confident that you can make a stellar contribution since we really like to hire the best people for the job.
