employment ad, please ignore

Free meds??

You forgot one:

.. Within walking distance to Zeitgeist. But not in combination with SOMA :-)

Craigslist, of all things, could sometimes work. I found a local bicycle dealer that way that I didn't even know existed, and then bought a new mountain bike there.

SOMA is South Of Market Area. But you knew that.

The problem isn't walking to Zeitgeist, it's walking back.

I might do Craigslist eventually. Historically, it has produced hundreds of bad applicants.

And getting work done afterwards.

That's the downside. Like advertising in a hacker community. It might yield the top candidate but you have to wade through dozens of bad ones.

When I was looking for engineers around 15 years ago the absolute best bang for the buck was the IEEE job site. It cost us only a few hundred bucks but the ratio of good to bad candidates was by far the best.

Just post it on monster, sounds like the material your looking for. Here I would place it in the NYtimes or monster.

Didn't you forget to note that a job requirement is to kiss up to the boss and proclaim, "Math and simulation are both crutches" ?>:-} ...Jim Thompson

He's gotta be able to design stuff with out component values too ;D

Once you latch onto something you think is funny, you repeat it scores of times. I think you're getting senile.

"Design is the opposite of analysis", someone here said. You can't analyze ideas if you don't have ideas.

Ideas come first. Brains do that, unless you are one of those people who gets all their ideas from appnotes. Or just keep copying the same diffamps and cascodes and bandgaps for decades.

Parts values in a circuit can come only after there is a circuit. There have been some attempts to automate circuit *design* but none worked, as far as I know.

Boredom causes gangrene of the brain...

Hey I'd apply... but the commute from Buffalo might be a bit long. :^)

Telecommute?

I asked that when I was looking a half-dozen years ago. He likes his engineers close. ;-)

...and like all lefties you're always bored with reality, Bloggs.

Everyone wants to telecommute, but even flextime can get in the way for a small team.

Electronics design is a great defense against boredom.

Designing electronics right now but I feel an increasing urge to hop on my mountain bike. Sometimes that's more fun. Well, ain't gonna happen today or tomorrow :-(

And I'm not going skiing much more this spring, either.

Not so much since GoToMeeting and all those popped up. That's my usual mode of operation. The airlines will certainly not be happy about that.

I've even talked MEs through diagnosing a processor timing problem with a scope across more than 1000 miles. They never used a scope before, bought it a day earlier, I downloaded the manual, they set the camera to its front panel, and off we went. Found the problem and then then their SW guy figured out how to fix it. 1/2h of consulting time, zero travel expenses, case closed, everyone happy.

Sure. It gets in the way in large teams, too.
