RE: Gatorloop looking for talented Electrical Engineering majors

Hi EE Majors:

I am co-captain of Gatorloop, the Design and Build team on campus which is one of the 22 finalists in the world competing in SpaceX’s Hyperloop Design and build competition this summer in California. We are looking for junior, senior, MS, and Ph.D EE candidates to help us create the systems listed below. I would appreciate it if you could send the email below to the list serve. Thank you!

Sebastian Quesada
Co-Captain, Gatorloop

—————————————————————————————————

It’s great to be a Florida Gator!
 

Over this past weekend Gatorloop competed at the SpaceX Hyperloop Design Weekend at Texas A&M. We were awarded one of only 22 spots moving forward to build and test our pod at the SpaceX facility this summer! The electrical system of the pod will collect data from an array of sensors and send it wirelessly via WiFi to a remote computer. This information will be displayed in a GUI for everyone in the competition to see. It will also keep track of the position and speed of the pod in order to actively control the braking system.

To accomplish this, we are looking to add junior, senior, MS and Ph.D candidates with experience in at least one of the following areas to join our team:
  • Embedded systems and programming
  • Microprocessor applications
  • SPI and UART communications
  • PID controller design
  • Front end developers with UI/UX experience
  • Network protocol implementation: TCP/IP, UDP
  • Power systems and circuits
  • Power electronics
  • Electromagnetics
If you would like to be part of history, please forward your resume and a brief description of your background to jaime.caicedo@gmail.com. Use the subject line "Gatorloop ES Application"

Resumes will be accepted through Wednesday 2/10 at 5pm.
