Hardware / Firmware Engineer
Design District, San Francisco
http://www.incidentgtar.com<p>Incident is building a unified music platform to make music easier and more accessible for everyone. Our first product, the gTar, is a real-time fully digital guitar with a multi-touch interactive LED lit fretboard. The gTar can be connected to a host device such as an iPhone or Desktop computer via USB-MIDI. Our first iPhone app focuses on giving everyone the ability to play music regardless of previous experience through the use of the interactive fretboard display. However, the sky's the limit with what can be done with such a platform, be it music creation, collaboration, entertainment, or education.<p>The first version of the gTar is now beginning production, but it can continue to get better through future firmware and hardware upgrades. We're looking for someone to help with that as well as help design and develop the next version of the product, and also future devices we're looking to build. We work with an amazing team in China, and this position will likely require a fair amount of travel to Asia.<p>Key Responsibilities
