Hardware design for PathoBox
Our company is developing crop disease testing devices for farmers and agronomists. With our prototype development nearing completion, we are looking to optimize the electronic schematics of our device to ensure it is robust and effective in diverse agricultural environments. There are two different options based on student's skillset and their interests. Option #1 Students will engage in a detailed and hands-on hardware development process under the mentorship of PathoScan’s scientific lead. Their tasks will include: Learn and analyze PathoScan's hardware schematics for design effectiveness. Convert digital schematics into a physical prototype of the PathoBox device. Conduct testing on the prototype and identify areas for refinement. Present a final report and prototype demonstration to PathoScan founders. Option #2 Students will engage in conducting market analysis and market research in of the existing industry and the ways to market PathoBox design. The student's goal will be to figure out the design decisions we need to make for achieving a great product-market fit.
