IT is foreign to me. We need people who know x86 assembly and PC System BIOS, microcontrollers, Windows internals (kernel and device drivers), hardware diagnostic code, FPGA and PAL programming, ability to use low level communications protocols (SMBUS, I2C, CAN). This is really software, but of course correct code requires ability to read and understand schematics and hardware data sheets and timing diagrams. Familiarity with scopes and logic analyzers a big plus -- the emulater people can no longer keep up with the rate that new processors are introduced. Interested?

We're paying people $250/hour who I know have less aptitude than you to troubleshoot fibre-channel SAN's for big companies.
