2024-03-31 Co-op Discussion

  • hardy would need to official be manager bc derek isnt in 3rd yr

  • any efs lead could be real main POC

  • EFS projects

    • tracking ant: hardy?

      • need to ask Hardy

      • starting with all the drivers for the chips

      • algorithms kind of exist for the tracking antenna but need to be integrated with drivers and debugged to point to drone

      • integration testing

      • algorithm testing

      • working with tracking antenna system

      • half dev work, half integration work

      • lots of pieces everywhere and some pieces missing

      • someone needs to clean it up, add in fixes, then get it onto the antenna

    • quadversity: derek

      • Nolan working on board, has nothing currently

      • co-op would dev firmware to run it

      • parallel EE design and EFS dev

      • prototype by end of semester for a custom board is what Nolan’s saying

      • could try dev boards? look into this approach?

      • this would be mostly pure dev work, very theoretical

      • more architecting

    • zp milestone 2 testing: Ayoung?

      • we have people working on it

      • nobody is interested in integrating and testing on foam plane

      • aidan, hardy, and daniel did a lot of that for milestone 1 for making harnesses and integrating

      • owning the system, soldering it up, flying it

      • do harness design and assembly for the plane

      • prepping zp3 board and wiring for motors and servos

      • this is very much system engineering and integration heavy

      • harnessing and stuff is not related to fir

  • we don’t want to give them busy work

    • like we have to balance the job being integrationy vs pure dev work

    • job market is tough tho so we should get applicants

    • want to give them something thats meanningful

    • wants to learn

    • list out tools they will learn in the description, list technical skills theyll get

    • balancing team needs and enticing job offer

    • in this phase its about what we want to get

  • Put all three efs project ideas in description or just one

    • put all three in job posting, then in interviews see their perception

    •  

  • Writing job

  • ok we’re going ahead for both

    • ee will be for zp

    • can focus on design or assembly, wahtever they’re up for
