Job description
MedRock Pharmacy is a fast-growing, tech-forward pharmacy specializing in dermatology and personalized medicine. Alongside pharmacy operations, our engineering team is building Med-Dots — a modern pharmacy management platform that integrates directly with hardware at every step: precision scales, barcode scanners, label printers, and custom devices we design ourselves. We value innovation, hands-on building, and a commitment to high-impact engineering.
Job Description
We are seeking a full-time Hardware Engineer I to design and build custom hardware for the Med-Dots platform. Where off-the-shelf devices don't exist or don't fit the pharmacy workflow, you'll create them — from concept and prototype through firmware, enclosure, and integration with our software. This is an early-career role ideal for a hands-on builder who wants their devices used in production every day: microcontrollers, sensors, serial protocols, 3D printing, and the code that ties hardware into a real product.
Key Responsibilities
Design, prototype, and build custom hardware devices for the Med-Dots platform — sensor/microcontroller-based devices (Arduino/ESP32/Raspberry Pi class), control interfaces, station fixtures, and purpose-built automation tools
Write the firmware and integration code that connects your devices to our platform (serial/USB/network protocols, device APIs)
Iterate from breadboard to production: schematics, enclosures (3D printing/CAD), small-run assembly, and documentation
Work with the software team to define device behavior, data contracts, and integration points (scan events, weight readings, print jobs, station workflows)
Evaluate and integrate commercial hardware (scales, scanners, printers) where it fits — and build custom where it doesn't
Test device reliability and failure modes; build configuration profiles and troubleshooting guides
Support the deployed device fleet: drivers, firmware updates, and connectivity troubleshooting as needed
Qualifications
Degree in Computer/Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent hands-on experience
Demonstrated builder — personal or academic projects with microcontrollers (Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi), basic electronics, soldering, and ideally 3D printing/CAD
Understanding of serial communication (RS-232/USB/UART) and how devices talk to host software
Methodical troubleshooting instincts — able to isolate whether a fault is circuit, firmware, driver, or software
Experience with commercial peripherals (scales, scanners, label printers) is a plus
Strong communication and documentation habits; able to work on-site
Medical, Dental, Vision and auxiliary benefits
