Project Debug | General Engineer | Singapore (HYBRID) | Full-time | debug.com Project Debug raises, sorts by sex, and releases millions of (non-biting) male mosquitoes in Singapore to reduce the local mosquito population and prevent the spread of dengue and other mosquito-borne illnesses. Our trial in Fresno, CA showed a 95% reduction in female mosquitoes during the seasonal peak. Our engineering team is pretty small and we need a solid generalist engineer who is interested in becoming a domain expert in our factory, where we do automated rearing and sex sorting. If you run a homelab, have tinkered with Arduino, and can prompt/write some Python, we can teach you everything you need to know about our stack (Go, Python, React, Kubernetes, Tensorflow). Reach out to katejm@debugproject.com and please mention HN in your email.

this is sterile technique. males mate females causing eggs to not hatch thus reducing population

As others have said, awesome project. I hope you are super successful. Somewhat limited applicant pool with it being based in Singapore sadly. Also, debug.com is a killer domain name, I'd love to hear how you got hold of that one.

Have you done research on the impact for birds which feed on those small bugs.

I am surely sending you an email. I live in a small village (eastern Himalayas, India) after giving up on city life, run a piggery and chicken farm along with ~ 6 hours of software work. I am intrigued by products like these which gives "hands-on" a new meaning. Being a new farmer-engineer, this is the kind of work I would love to do.

    We have Airtel and Jio airfiber. Jio is with Mimosa c6x antenna and it's great.
