[olug] Linux Employment Opportunity

[Don Kauffman]

I have problems with how this is worded. It sounds like they are trying
to develop a proprietary Linux OS. Well, that's a head scratcher
because, as far as I know, this would be extremely hard to do and, if
they succeeded, would not be able to be called linux because of
trademark. I suspect the person who wrote this is using "HR code"
thinking it's clear and it comes across differently. 

If they are using linux and are developing a proprietary platform on top
of it that's something else again. However the whole Ad is very
confusing.

I may be nit picking but I dislike job ads that imply what this one
seems to imply. This raise anyone else's hacklea?

The successful candidate, either CS or EE, will demonstrate expertise in C programming, will be fluent in reading electronic schematic drawings and will have either prior experience with, or desire to learn, the creation of a commercial-grade customized Linux platform.  This long-term project will establish the foundation for an entire new product line, and the successful candidate will serve as the corporate expert in this endeavor.
