Seeking Hardware Hacker for Fast-Track Interactive Installation

Electroland seeks a hardware designer/hacker for a fast-track interactive installation project. Candidates should have significant experience with embedded tactile interaction design using Arduino or similar and familiarity with coding for physical computing. Basic fabrication skills (cut, finish, fasten) are a plus. Candidates should be able to work with us to develop functional pieces that are reliable in the scope of a two week installation. The work will be fun and very fast-paced. We want to make things that illuminate, squawk, wobble, etc.

This work is paid and starts immediately. Work will take place in West LA at Electroland and on a freelance basis, and candidates should be local to Los Angeles. To apply send a brief intro and links to relevant work samples to jobs@electroland.net ASAP. Please do not attach files larger than 3MB. Do not call - doing so will disqualify applicants.

The work of Electroland has received wide notice in international publications and design websites, and has been featured at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum Triennial in New York. See more at http://electroland.net

Do not write “doing so will disqualify applicants”.

The attitude behind it will disqualify you as an employer to a lot of good people.

You’re asking for someone qualified to give you part time, probably not for an especially high salary. Alienating people already in the ad is certainly a bad move. You might still find someone, but having lost interest from the potential candidates that can pick and choose, you’re left with the ones that can’t. :wink:

Bad move. :wink:

(just some helpful advice)

aw, that’s just his way of saying “I’m the boss and you are the dirt beneath my heals”.

Hi guys, I appreciate the advice. Language like this is unfortunately necessary due to the lack of boundaries by some applicants in the craigslist age. I am speaking from hard-won experience. Our hope is that qualified applicants understand and appreciate this. FWIW this was a paid job and we found someone awesome.

Cheers,
