Well, since I didn't see anything prohibiting it in the online FAQs I'm
going to go ahead and post my needs and deal with the fallout.

I am the Chief Computer Engineer at a rural Pennsylvania firm that
develops robotics applications. I seek someone with the following
qualifications:

* a candidate who understands both core computer science and
electro-mechanical engineering issues.

* should have expertise in C/C++ programming (solid OO programming) on
multiple platforms

* candidate should be fluent in programming of at least one brand of
micro-controller or FPGA

* candidate should understand embedded programming using both linux and
microsoft technologies

* practical experience with JAVA J2SE is desired

* ideal candidate will understand PWM motor and lighting control as well
as current wireless communications technologies

* looking for an engineer with at least three years of practical industry
experience (not entry level)


*** Candidate must be a US citizen and pass a background check ***

If you feel you have the required experience and would like to know more
then please call me no earlier than May 2nd at 814-467-9060x232 to discuss.

Principals only; absolutely no third parties!

Right. No business name, no return address, and you want a
really good engineer to move to a rural area of Pennsylvania.

And you want J2SE, C/C++, FPGA programming, plus
motor control and electromechanical design.

I'm actually qualified, but you couldn't afford me.

Um, you missed the clue:

Phonebook results for 814-467-9060
    Kuchera Defense Systems Inc, (814) 467-9060, 345 Pomroys Dr, Windber,
PA 15963

Mapping it shows a place near Johnstown, PA - purports to be in
business since 1985.

Couple of hours east of Pittsburgh.

Don't know exactly why it's there, but at least Pittsburgh and CMU are
within 2 hours.

Not exactly a hotbed for leading edge robotics (or defense) research, or
an attractive place to live. Good luck finding a pool of willing talent.

And no range of salary....LOL

Employers need to realize that a good engineer costs money...and his
time is valuable.

Playing twenty questions in regards to a salary range guarantees no
worthwhile applicants.
