full-time About the Company 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
• Programming ability for firmware and integration (C/C++, Python, or JavaScript/TypeScript)
• 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 Benefits
• Medical, Dental, Vision and auxiliary benefits
• Paid Time Off
• 401k + match Job Details
• Job Type: Full-time
• Location: Chattanooga, TN (on-site)
• Compensation: $18.00
