**ARQUIMEA Research Center **( **ARC **) is a private R&D; center which relies on a product-oriented strategy, market diversification and internationalization to achieve a sustainable growth with the calling of **developing ideas and getting involved in projects with a high impact in society **.We have as much passions as technologies we develop. But there is only one that we enjoy more than the rest: passion for people. We are a team of specialists and researchers pursuing the highest exponent of **technology and science **.- Our **search **is to find new projects that stimulate our day-to-day.- Our **challenge **is to attract talent that shares our worldview.At ARC we research in fields like sensors, robotics or drones, cybersecurity, digital manufacturing, biotechnology, artificial intelligence, quantum computing, nanotechnology and blockchain.We like to surround ourselves with digital nomads to assemble solid teams, specialized in each of our technologies. We trust people as much as we trust progress if it is accompanied by **skills **and **attitude **. Furthermore, our centre is located in Canary Islands (Tenerife), where is impossible to have a negative attitude. We have soft weather, ocean and so much technology.We like to think of talent as a five-pointed star that brings light and value to the center and we want **bold **, **creative **, **proactive **, **efficient **and **humble **people in our team.So, if you match these values, you can keep reading.
