Indigo Agriculture (indigoag.com) - Boston/Memphis/Remote

Shameless plug for Indigo Agriculture (indigoag.com). We're expanding on a number of different fronts with the central goal of increasing farmer profitability while reducing the environmental impact of production. Here are some of the groups at Indigo that are hiring: - Marketplace: matching growers producing high quality crops with buyers who need that quality. Giving farmers a reason to produce crops that are better than commodity standard, produced in better ways. - Transport: contract trucking services to allow farms to sell their products, efficiently, well beyond their current reach - Agronomy/Precision Agriculture: giving farmers the tools and expertise they need to improve their efficiency while reducing environmental impact. - Remote Sensing: supplementing Indigo's and growers' knowledge of fields with continuously updating global observations from satellites - Carbon Sequestration (terraton.org): sequestering a trillion tons of carbon dioxide into agricultural soils to improve soil quality while slowing the march of climate change

If you are interested, please apply on our website or feel free to reach out to me directly at jmcdonald@indigoag.com. I'm a software engineer who works across a number of the above groups. I'd love to chat or put you in touch with the right person.

This is a good place to start if you aren't already overly familiar with the principle of electromagnetism and circuit theory: https://www.khanacademy.org/science/physics/electricity-and-... After that the progression of a traditional EE education usually goes like this: transient and AC circuit analysis (phasors, Fourier, Laplace), linear systems, opamp and analog filter design, digital logic, some power stuff (3 phase, etc.), active devices (diodes, BJTs, FETs), RF basics. From there, the path usually splits based on your personal interest. Some options are usually power systems, digital systems (embedded systems), digital systems (IC design), AC design (usually mixed with RF).
