Organization
N-Pulse's work is split into a technical pole and a set of project-wide teams that keep the association running. The technical pole covers nine teams working on different parts of the same system, under the umbrella of three systems engineers — biosignal, electronics/control and mechanics — who manage integration across them. The different subsystems depend on each other constantly, so expect to collaborate with people outside your own team throughout the semester.
