We are looking for an entomologist and an engineer
AuriPod, our black soldier fly composter, was fully reworked this month. We will not restart fabrication before bringing together two skills we lack. Here they are — and we are actively looking.
An entomologist with an interest in black soldier flies
The heart of the problem is not mechanical, it is alive. Keeping a black soldier fly colony healthy through Taichung’s seasons, inside a sealed machine at the foot of a residential building: that is what we want validated before we build, not after.
If the subject interests you, even from a distance, we would be glad to talk.
A mechanical design engineer
In other words: someone who draws machines.
Beginners welcome. We have a concrete object to design from a blank sheet, with a very real constraint of use — if the machine is a chore, nobody will use it.
Curiosity required. That is the only non-negotiable line in this ad.
And also: partners and investors
We are actively looking. We are aiming for a first machine in the first half of 2027.
