MILSTD1553 Firmware Developer Needed (Contract)

I'm probably going to regret this, but just to start the new year off on a weird note, I'm going to give USENET one more try as a job posting resource.

We are a Los Angeles, California, U.S.A. based military electronics contractor. Due to scheduling conflicts, we have an immediate need for an experienced embedded firmware developer to work in tandem with our embedded systems engineers in developing MIL-STD-1553 RT (Remote Terminal) functionality for one of our development projects. This will be a 3 to 4 month contract requiring code development in C and Assembler on a Microchip PIC24FXXX series microcontroller interfaced to a Holt Industries HI-6110 or similar 1553 transceiver via 16 bit DMA. This effort will require hands on familiarity with MIL-STD-1553 protocols, DMA, and realtime interrupt driven embedded systems development. If you are interested in this contract please contact me directly at snipped-for-privacy@dcxchol.com.

If I have top posted, or bottom posted, or cross posted or ignored the needs and sensibilities of any special interest group, cult or sect, or you wish to explain to me what a poor choice the PIC or Holt devices are or indeed what an antiquated and obsolete interface 1553 is, please direct your flames and responses here to USENET - that's what it's for!

I take it that you've had bad (or at least weird) experiences with job postings on USENET? I assume that I can't post to any newsgroup, anywhere, without offending somebody. So I don't worry about it.

I usually like to see them here. The only time I don't is when someone is obviously running a sweatshop, or is posting for wildly off-topic stuff, neither of which apply in this case.

The MIL-STD-1553 bus is a fine communications protocol, as far as it goes. It's also entertaining to read the specifications, where the RT has to salute and say "YES SIR!!!" when the bus controller tells it to do something.

While it may have been off-topic, it was clearly labelled and was only one message to this ng. Similar to, but shorter than, the "OT: Best New Laser Printer to Buy" thread, in which even you have participated, and I have read as it is a topic in which I am interested.

And you don't think he can look at your sig on other ng posts to get this info? Given his first sentence, he is not ng illiterate. :-/

You should know very well that this message is, by most "definitions", is not spam at all......

Yup. You're right. I forgot about the"OT" thing. It's been a while since I participated in USENET and my netiquette is a little rusty. Thanks for the heads up.

Some of us never received the original posting.

Also, his choice of PIC may be driven by the requirements of meeting the upgraded versions from C to E. But think about all the signatures needed to change the official documents to the proper form. I would just leave out the micro specifications completely.

Professional CAKE Engineer. (and I hate long signatures).
