---- Synchromesh Computing, since being launched in January of 2004 as a sister company to ECL, has been growing rapidly.
A new client has asked us to develop benchmarking and software test programs for their TCP/IP Offload Engine.
Frankly, we're world leaders in benchmarking, performance analysis, and software testing but we could really use a professional contractor to augment our team for this project in this specific knowledge domain (TCP/IP Offload Engines). We know a lot about TCP/IP, though.
Duration is likely to be 2 to 3 months for this contract - but if we're successful in pleasing our client, we believe there is a lot more business there to be had from them as well as others in this subset of the industry. Our staff, made up almost exclusively of contractor-consultants, tend to be amazingly loyal to our company because they know we treat people as we want to be treated.
Needless to say, absolute mastery of C programming is necessary, especially for embedded systems. Knowledge of TCP/IP Offload Engines is obviously required, and knowledge of Microsoft's Chimney Architecture is a big win (for both of us :-) Experience developing Test Plans, executing them, automated testing, and benchmarking is strongly preferred. The ability to work quickly, efficiently, and without "hacking about" is appreciated since we're not too fond of ulcers, but insightful and brilliant programmers who aren't tempermental have natural allowances made - so long as they can meet schedules and therefore budgets. People who do NOT know much about TCP/IP, and specifically TCP/IP Offload Engines, probably shouldn't apply for THIS gig.
If you can only do this part-time, but have the TCP/IP Offload Engine experience and knowledge, well, we can probably work around your schedule so long as you're willing to teach others on our staff what you know - and get paid for it.
We offer flexible hours (to avoid traffic), TELECOMMUTING if you're responsible, the kind of work environment you've only *heard* about from the early days of Silicon Valley and Silicon Hills (unless you're older, and then you KNOW what we're talking about), decent pay (and bonuses for outstanding performance). The ability to make and meet commitments is necessary, and a proven track record in doing so needs to be established and proven before you're hired. We absolutely do not discriminate based on race, age, sex, gender, sexuality, height, weight, or mode of dress but we DO discriminate based on talent, ability, skills, desire, ambition, work ethic, and all the RIGHT things. We expect that you, too, respect other's as individuals, and can work well with others.
All individuals must be able to sign and adhere to non-disclosure agreements, and have a reputation for integrity unblemished.
Pay? We'll treat you right, and its based on your experience, skills, and other factors.
Intrigued? If you've got the qualifications, contact us.
