Company description
Inventu Research is focused on creating smart and simple solutions to help improve life in cities. One of the main challenges the team is working on is how to detect and find free parking spaces on city streets in real time. This problem has been studied many times in the past, but there is still no perfect solution. Inventu Research is developing a system that uses solar-powered devices with 5G connectivity to monitor parking spaces. These devices work on their own and can detect when parking is not allowed. The Mechanical Engineer at Inventu Research will help design and build these devices. They will focus on making hardware that is strong, reliable, and able to work well in different outdoor conditions.
