Research Engineering Intern

Job Title: Research Engineering Intern Role
Company: Pascal Tags Inc.
Location: Louisville, KY (In-person)

Summary of Research Engineering Internship:

We are a pioneering startup poised to revolutionize the supply chain by introducing groundbreaking serialization capabilities for products that have remained unchanged for decades. Our innovative approach involves developing the first-ever chip-less inventory tag, enabling the serialization of every product to streamline inventory management. Currently, we are seeking a motivated research engineering intern to support us during our scaling process. This role offers hands-on experience, direct involvement with our innovative engineering team, and an opportunity to contribute to the design process.

Despite our primary challenge of scalability, we have secured contracts with reputable companies such as GE and Brown-Forman, along with substantial funding and support from investors like Mark Cuban. We need the assistance of a research engineer intern positioning us to replace the barcode and redefine supply chains forever.
