I'm in the "sniffing around" stage. I would like to get back to hardware-focused development, but I am still exploring my options. I figure this is a good way to find out who might be interested in my skillset for that type of work. Ideally, I would like to work on firmware and FPGA development, ASIC V&V, "big" or "little" embedded, or something similar. 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 12 years I'm tired of it).
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. I also have a penchant for figuring out how things work.
I have already had a good contact off a prior incarnation of this thread; unfortunately it did not work out in the end.
[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.
