Poor (but feisty) RTP start-up trying to locate a local person who can write
a PC-based utility, to execute in the operating system of his/her choice.
Bonus points for a self-contained, Knoppix-type x86 bootable CD, with the
utility included!!

This utility would be used only internally, by two or three Company
contractors; it is not for re-sale.  The utility will be used to verify the
control-sequence output of a dedicated microcontroller to a peripheral IC.

The utility would read three 'lines' from the PCs parallel port consisting
of a clock, a serial bitstream, and a chip select line.  Utility to
interpret the bitstream according to a predefined table (to be provided),
and display the results in binary, hex, and plain-language.  

Some additional details:

  -- Data process methods to be the choice of the programmer
  -- Users are computer literate and will define needed display attributes
  -- Accuracy of displayed information is paramount
  -- Programmer will need to execute a contract agreement and non-disclosure
  -- Work to be done by contractor, at contractor's site

Compensation for this task is negotiable based on responses, and to be a
function of the experience of the person doing the work, how fast the
program can be delivered, and usefulness/thoroughness of the implementation
and execution.  Negotiated fee to be fixed and payable 50% on contractor's
acceptance of statement of work, and 50% on RadarFind acceptance of finished
product.

Timeframe is immediate, with expected completion by 4/1/05.

If you're interested and can do the job, please contact me off line with a
*brief* proposal, <jobs at radarfind dot com>.  

Legal stuff (sorry, even start-ups have lawyers):  RTP area candidates only.
Short-term contractor position; lawful eligibility to receive 1099 income a
requirement.  E-mail responses by principals only, please.  Any agency
responses will be considered a gift and ineligible for compensation.
RadarFind reserves the right to withdraw this offer at any time prior to
initial acceptance.
