Central Saint Martins
Opportunity
Are you passionate about the convergence of screen‑based code and physical interaction? We are seeking a versatile Specialist Technician to help our students bridge the gap between web interfaces and hardware mechatronics. In this role you will work closely with the Physical Computing Technician to assist students in building connected projects using AI, generative visuals, and electronics. You will be instrumental in teaching others how to instruct code to move things in the real world and vice versa.
Your daily work will involve delivering technical workshops that combine web technologies with hardware control. You will mentor students on project architecture, advising them on how to send data between microcontrollers, servers, and front‑end interfaces. Beyond coaching, you will collaborate with technical colleagues across our Digital, Biology, and 3D Make spaces to ensure software stacks communicate effectively with hardware mechanics while maintaining a safe lab environment.
Qualifications
* Proficient in JavaScript, HTML5, and CSS3, with experience using creative libraries such as p5.js or Three.js.
* Experience with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or ESP32.
* Solid understanding of AI principles and a fundamental knowledge of actuators and sensors.
* Ability to solve hybrid technical challenges and mentor students effectively.
We are keen to attract a diverse applicant pool and welcome applicants from all backgrounds, including those who may feel underrepresented in the workforce. We encourage you to reflect on your strengths and experience in the broadest sense, including transferable skills where appropriate. In all cases, we will select the best candidate for the role.
