Gig Description
Join us in building a next-generation Quiet NAS Server—a custom rack-based rotational storage system engineered to combine enterprise reliability with whisper-quiet operation. This project is perfect for students or early-career technologists who love tinkering with hardware, exploring Linux/TrueNAS, and solving real-world challenges in acoustics and system design.
What You’ll Do
You’ll help design, assemble, and test a rack-based NAS, working with rotational drive arrays, airflow optimization, vibration dampening, and power efficiency. Expect hands-on exposure to RAID/ZFS, TrueNAS/Proxmox, and server-class hardware while documenting your process and contributing to build logs and open-source resources. Your role blends practical engineering with creative problem solving, aiming to balance high performance with near-silent operation.
Why This Matters
This is more than an internship—it’s a chance to learn directly from experts, contribute to open knowledge, and add a standout project to your portfolio. Whether you’re passionate about servers, acoustics, or simply building things that work smarter, you’ll gain skills that span hardware, software, and design trade-offs. Flexible, project-based, and resume-worthy—this gig lets you help shape the future of storage.
