CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
Watkins-owned companies are always on the lookout for exceptional people who are passionate about their work and who insist on quality.
We are an agile and adaptive collection of small companies, retaining the useful aspects of the corporate world while avoiding its ineffectiveness. We want
to have fun solving real-world problems and are interested only in thinkers, creators and doers. We value initiative-taking, breadth and focused expertise,
seeking one person who jumps seven feet over seven people who jump a foot.
We desire to work with experienced scientists and engineers who understand craftsmanship. We need people with hands-on technical experience who know the
ins and outs of hardware, as well as people with high-level algorithmic skills and extensive math backgrounds to design complex systems; ideally we seek
people who possess both. We need programmers who do not work in a vacuum and who develop code sensitive to other project programmer needs. We want only
those who know that extra care in design and coding will produce products with greater reliability, control, performance and extensibility, guaranteeing
more predictable costs and timeframes. We want people who understand that experimentation code is not production code; buggy code, quick-hack fixes, and
off-the-cuff answers are viewed as costly to us and our clients. We need software engineers with Linux experience and familiarity
with Windows 95/98 and/or Windows NT programming. Most of our projects are developed in C, some in C++, using Watcom or Microsoft Visual C++ on the PC.
Assembly language programming experience, particularly involving hardware control, is desired but not essential. Developers from the demo scene are welcome.
We prefer people with degrees in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace, Physics, Mathematics, Mechanical Engineering and/or Computer Science, but consider
real-world experience most valuable.
We also seek people who understand the importance of long-lasting customer relationships and who can form strategic business alliances for distribution of
our products and inventions at any stage of development. We need people who can uncover market needs and niches in areas we may not have explored and who
can secure key funding and distribution. We have served as the research and development think-tank and skunk works for many companies around the globe,
saving them the high cost of maintaining a full-time R&D facility. We seek similar projects and especially enjoy assuming distressed projects and bringing
them to stability.
If you are interested in applying to any of the Watkins-owned companies, please send us your resume, biography and/or curriculum vitae via our
home page E-mail (filename format: lastname_firstname_BIO.doc). If applicable, please include programming examples and supporting materials which best
illustrate your engineering design and software development capabilities (zipped software filename: lastname_firstname_CODE.zip). Given the sheer volume
of resumes that we receive, we are unfortunately able to contact only those under consideration for employment. Thank you for your interest.
