🌌 JOB DESCRIPTION

Quantum Space Node Prototype Engineer / Innovation Fellow

(Intern or Entry-Level Engineer — Future Founder Track)

Location: Atlanta, GA (HQ)
Division: Quantum Infrastructure & Micro-Node Systems
Reports To: CEO / Quantum Node Program Manager
Compensation: Competitive salary or stipend + bonus + future profit-sharing opportunity
Status: Full-Time or High-Intensity Internship (10–14 weeks, option to convert)

🔥 ROLE PURPOSE

This is not a normal internship or engineering job.
 This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to help invent the first intelligent micro-infrastructure system in the country, transforming everyday parking spaces into alive, dynamic, AI-powered urban nodes.

You will be the hands-on builder, problem-solver, prototyper, and designer behind the Quantum Space Node Lite™ (QSN-L) — a futuristic, low-cost, scalable system that blends:

  • hardware
  • software
  • sensors
  • AI
  • AR
  • electronics
  • and visionary design
Your work will directly shape the commercial product that will be deployed across the entire GGES portfolio and licensed nationwide.

You will literally help create a new industry.

🔥 WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

You are:

âś” A builder

You prototype fast, break things, fix them, and improve rapidly.

âś” A creative technologist

You can merge electronics, code, hardware, sensors, and imagination.

âś” A futurist

You think about what the world should look like and build toward that.

âś” An optimizer

You can reduce cost, simplify components, and make things elegant.

âś” A storyteller

You love explaining your creations, demoing them, and inspiring buy-in.

✔ A “make-it-work-at-all-costs” creator

You’ve built robots, drones, IoT projects, custom electronics, or anything unusual.

âś” A leader in training

You want to eventually lead a team, a division, or an entire product line.

We care more about your capability, curiosity, and drive than we do about a perfect resume.

🔥 ROLE RESPONSIBILITIES

1. Prototype Development

  • Build the first functional QSN-L prototype.
  • Assemble and integrate:
     
    • camera module
  •  
    • edge compute board

  • Low-voltage electrical experience
  • Environmental sensor integration
  • Experience making something “that shouldn’t work, but does”
🔥 WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE (90 DAYS)

By Day 30:

  • QSN-L prototype fully assembled.
  • Basic edge detection functioning.
  • LED panel + AR Ghost Panel working.
By Day 60:

  • Field tests completed at 1–3 parking spaces.
  • Cloud analytics reporting live.
  • Cost optimized under $2,500 per unit.
By Day 90:

  • Commercial-ready prototype presented to Executive Leadership.
  • Deployment SOP finalized.
  • Ready-to-scale design achieved.
🔥 WHY THIS ROLE IS SPECIAL

  • You get to build technology no one else in the U.S. is building.
  • You’ll be “Employee #1” of a new division that will become a major revenue generator.
  • You’ll directly influence product design, commercialization, and launch strategy.
  • You’ll work directly with the CEO on a future-defining technology.
  • You will gain a lifetime signature achievement:
     “Invented the first commercial Quantum Space Node System.”
This is not a job.
 It’s the beginning of a legacy.

🔥 APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

We’re not looking for a standard resume.
 Applicants must submit:

  1. A portfolio or photos of things they’ve built (hardware, electronics, robots, etc.)
