[sf-lug] Help Defining a Job Description?

[Blake Haggerty]

Well the Linux and Windows crossing seemed strange, but from Nathan's Description that made much more sense. 

 

But your right, I know allot and I mean allot of C/C++ Developers and I don't believe that very many of them have much or any Graphic design skills.

That approach strikes me as a bit backwards.  Wouldn't it make more sense to use Eclipse on Linux, if Linux/OpenGL is the target platform and having an IDE to ease development is desired?  Not to mention that it may be difficult to find Linux experts who are willing to be forced to develop in a Windows environment.  It also doesn't seem reasonable to me to expect a C++ developer (for any platform) to have any significant professionally-applicable graphic design skill (which supports the notion that they're trying to force two jobs into one).

Sounds to me like they're trying to have their cake and eat it, too.

Just my $0.02.

It's a position developing set-top box software. They're doing engineering on a Windows platform but the deployment is on a Linux-based STB.

Looking for a little help in defining the Job Description... Anyone make sense of this:

 

We are looking for a software engineer with a strong experience in C++ code development (under the Microsoft Visual IDE on the Windows platform), and a good knowledge of OpenGL fundamentals. The candidate should be well-versed with modern UI design (graphics and animation based). Previous experience with the CVS revision control software is preferable. Creative graphic design skills and knowledge of image editing software are a plus. The candidate should be self-motivated, able to accommodate a tight project schedule, and display convincing teamwork skills. 

Duties: 
Embedded Linux Applications Development (C/C++) 
Will be developing application SW in this environment such as; (User Interface (UI) for EPG (Electronic Program Guide) Pay Per View, Browser etc. 

 

 

 

The windows Visual IDE on windows platform seems to conflict with the embedded Linux Applications Development.

 

Anyone able to explain what they might be doing here? Or is this just the case of an employer looking for two jobs to fit into one.
