I think my ideal role would be "big" embedded (real-time, non-GUI code running on a full hardware platform with either an RTOS or soft-real-time server OS). Failing that, my next preference would be something oriented towards distributed Java applications (Hadoop, plain ol' sockets and REST, etc.) I'm open to any type of company; I mainly want good tools, flexible scheduling, a quiet environment, and no government contracting/security bullshit (after 14 years I'm tired of it).<p>I have a variety of experience acquired on my slightly winding career. I like variety and being a multidisciplined engineer. In addition to the electrical, systems, and software engineering experience I have some basic-level mechanical engineering knowledge.<p>I have a couple irons in the fire at the moment, but I have some bandwidth left at the moment.<p>[1] This requires explanation. My experience is in systems engineering by the INCOSE definition[2], not IT systems engineering. Adding to the title/skill confusion, I'm a decent sysadmin and know my way around Linux. I am not, IMO, good enough to get paid to be a sysadmin/devops/IT systems engineer. I don't really have a desire to be, either.<p>[2] <a href="http://www.incose.org/practice/whatissystemseng.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.incose.org/practice/whatissystemseng.aspx</a>
