[wplug] OT: looking for IT professionals (et al)

[Tim Lesher]

[Apologies if this isn't appropriate for wplug... and honestly, Henry, I 
don't mean to steal your thunder--I had this email half-composed before 
I received yours...]

I'm (now) a programmer for a Vocollect, a company in Penn Hills.  We 
make voice-controlled, headless wearable computers.  Because there are 
so many positions open here right now, they're having a "Technology 
Professionals Job Fair" on Thursday, November 18th, 2004, from 4 to 8 
PM, at the Vocollect main building (near Penn Hills).  From the job fair 
flyer, these are the tech areas we're especially looking at:

o speech recognition
o speech synthesis
o personal area networks (aka Bluetooth)
o mesh networks
o RFID
o embedded control
o mobile computing
o test automation
o wireless security
o Linux (i.e., app-level programming, I think)
o J2EE
o Robotic interfaces (?!)
o Micro-electrical-mechanical systems (MEMS) sensors and transducers
o Alternative power sources (ie for portable devices)

But we're hiring everything from factory sys admins, to programmers, to 
managers, to factory-floor assemblers and customer support folks.

here, just drop me an email.
