Hello All,
I'm working on a small project and I find myself thinking that it would be prudent to engage the services of a person with a very good grasp of op-amps in an audio context, plus with op-amp/microcontroller interfaces - perhaps an engineer or a competent engineering student.
The task is, from the research I've done so far, very simple. It would involve some design based on existing parameters, and a small amount of construction, with explanations of the process, possibly a little bit of small board design.
I could spend waaaay too much time researching and learning and pestering people here, or I could just hire someone to get the job done and tell me how it works, and I can move ahead to the next parts. At this time, I would see this as an occasional contract position.
So, here are my few questions:
How do I go about finding such a person? Where do I look, do I advertise?
How are they paid - naturally in untraceable internationally negotiable funds - but on what basis? Hourly? Is there an average rate?
What would I look to avoid?
There do happen to be a number of major universities in my area, if that proves to be a source of candidates.
Any comments appreciated, and if I need to rephrase the question, I'll do so.
Thanks to all. Patrick Keenan
