Revised Consulting project - Embedded Linux developer
My client in MA has the following needs for an embedded Linux/C consultant(s). This could be one position if the developer can do the architecture as well. Otherwise they will need an architect as well as a developer. If you are qualified and interested, please give me a call or send me an email. 1. Architect key changes to their thin client which is Linux 2.6 based which is being moved over to a mobile device. The key is architecture. Strong documentation, strong embedded Linux (ideally 2.6). Estimated about 3 weeks to do the architecture. 2. Development role will include constructing the framework, defining the API, implementing lower layer (abstraction) interfaces from sockets to application stacks like SIP/RTP, etc. strong C and Linux. Embedded Linux architect required to perform high level analysis and design work for a project that involves porting an existing thick client to a Linux/Java environment for the mobile industry. Consultant's responsibilities will include: - taking the recommendations from the customer - quickly learning the existing client architecture - identifying and developing the best approach to porting the client - delivering a complete design and porting guide using best practices - remaining available for ad-hoc consultation throughout the stages of the port Successful consultant must have solid experience in embedded Linux and C. Any knowledge of Java ME(J2ME) is a plus, experience in designing clients for such environments, and the proven ability to lead a team in the initial design phases of a project. Estimated about 3 mths to do this piece of the project. The development team exists and is ready to begin the porting effort, but needs strong guidance from an experienced, senior architect. Must be able to start soon.

At first I thought this was just a repost of a message from a week ago, but it is, in fact, a revision. Other than some trivial re-formatting and typo correction, these are the differences: $ diff consult.txt consult-new.txt 6c6 < Linux J2ME consultant(s). ---

So it seems that in the last week the project has been changed from Java to C. You could take this as a sign that they are open to doing it in your favorite language, or you could take this as a sign that they have no idea what they are doing, but would love to have a consultant to blame. But you had better hurry

Keith, Not sure why you felt compelled to be so publicly negative. My personal contact info was on the posting. You could have contacted me directly. Perhaps you had a bad day when you read this and could not resist the temptation to slam someone you don't know. There are any number of factors that could cause a company to revise their needs. One item that I am sure is NOT on that list as you state is "they have no idea what they are doing, but would love to have a consultant to blame". For further clarification, this project always required strong embedded Linux and C skills. They are now hoping to find someone that also has the J2ME, but know that is a difficult skill to find and may have some resources that can chip in and help with that part of the project. It also gives someone the opportunity to pick up some J2ME skills. If anyone, including you Keith, would like to discuss this further, please feel free to give me a call or send me an email directly.
