Given that I'm getting all lonely designing hardware here at empeg towers (and/or there's too much work for me to manage!), there's a vacancy for an experienced hardware bod in Cambridge, probably with a BEng or BSc in an EE-related field.

Skills:
- Embedded system design
- Switchmode PSU design
- PCB review & checking
- EMI/ESD aware design
- Board prototyping and bring-up
- Orcad/Protel schematic capture
- ARM experience very useful, as well as power-aware design skills

Travel to Santa Clara and to factories in China/Malaysia is likely a few times a year. Benefits include designing the gadgets your friends lust after

If you're interested, or know someone who would be (and is happy with moving to Cambridge from within the EU), then email me for the full job spec - hugo@empeg.com

Dammit I wish I'd paid attention in my Electonics A-Level now

Rio are designing iPods now?

Where else did you think the idea for the iPod Photo came from? Now if I see an iPod "Toast"...

Sorry, couldn't resist, I'll leave now!

No, please don't! Someone has to keep them honest!

And PCA isn't automatically taking this position because...?

Bah, Jobs was Gates before Gates was Gates.

He hasn't applied for a start, plus it's a position in Cambridge & I'm not sure Patrick could leave his lathe behind (or necessarily find neighbours who are just fine with him running jets in his back garden)

What, you don't have a machine shop at the new empeg towers? For shame.
