Really cool, I'd love to try something like this for quick and simple enclosures. Right now I have some prototype electronics hot glued to a piece of plywood. It would be awesome to give a GenCAD workflow the existing part STLs (if they exist) and have it roughly arrange everything and then create the 3D model for a case.

Maybe there could be a mating/assembly eval in the future that would work towards that?

Culture Robotics | Generalist Engineer | South San Francisco | Onsite

Culture Robotics is developing automated fermentation systems to help biotech and pharmaceutical researchers increase their experimental throughput and reproducibility. Our team is made up of mechanical, software, and biomedical engineers who worked previously at Google and MIT. The system we're building executes high-throughput, automated experiments and provides new tools for data analysis and visualization. Currently, we are building our first robotic system for internal testing and validation. We will then begin operating with customers at the end of the year.

We are looking for curious and motivated people who want to build tools that enable high-throughput, reproducible life science research. Our projects offer many challenges and this role in particular will present unique opportunities for learning about automation platforms and biological systems.

Our ideal candidate is an engineering generalist with experience in both hardware and software development. This is a full-time position with competitive salary, medical coverage, paid vacation, access to a state-of-the art machine shop, free lunch and other benefits.

To learn more and apply, send me an email: [email protected]

Bay Area, CA. contract, >40hrs per week title: HW Test Engineer, Contract

We are a stealthy group designing and building some advanced robotics, and we need more help testing our system and its subsystems. This is a great entry level position -- a chance to work among many smart folks and learn about some interesting technical systems.

Apologies for the vagueness, but if this is vaguely interesting, send me some info about yourself and we can talk in more detail! You can reach me at [email protected]

So cool -- out of curiosity, is this emulating the actions of a pre-existing, "professional" machine or is the concept brand new?

Fremont, CA - Full Time - http://redwoodsystems.com

Redwood Systems builds an extremely energy-efficient lighting system and a high-density sensor network for commercial spaces, data centers and schools. We're looking to hire a generalist web engineer that will work closely with some big customers to build out new and interesting ways to interact with our system and its data. Some things you might be working on:

- spatially-connected visualizations of our internal sensor data (temp, occupancy, ambient light, and more) - learning algorithms that adjust lighting policies to save the most energy without disturbing occupants (very Nest-like) - building an application to create lighting patterns that direct occupants to a safe exit within a building

As always, we're looking for people who get things done, are interested in new technologies and care about our customers. Get in touch with me, Matt, via mball .at. redwoodsys.com And see more of our openings here http://redwoodsystems.com/about-us/careers#job-7 (the one mentioned above is "Application Engineer").

I agree completely -- are there any other platforms out there similar in function to instructables?

Can't wait to use this! Looks like it will be immensely helpful to see how time efficient my projects are. I guess I can tag projects by name with a special character and then search for the tags later.. I noticed in the video that only the elapsed time of a task is shown -- is there also a way to see when tasks were started and finished?
