Responsibilities

• Build Interesting Projects
• A significant portion of your time will be spent hands-on with hardware, building projects that demonstrate the capabilities and possibilities of SparkFun products. This includes, but is not limited to:
• - Combining multiple products into compelling, useful applications
• - Quickly prototyping ideas and iterating until they work
• - Exploring new technologies, sensors, microcontrollers, communication protocols, and development platforms
• - Creating projects that range from approachable beginner builds to more advanced technical applications
• - Thinking strategically about how SparkFun products can work together to solve problems, demonstrate interesting applications, and introduce our audience to products they may not have otherwise considered
• Let’s get beyond blinking an LED and make something worth showing people.
• You’ll work closely with the Marketing team to identify products and projects with the potential to perform across our channels and grow our audience. You’ll then turn those ideas into reality, creating the projects and demonstrations that fuel our video, photography, social, SEO, email, and product marketing efforts.
