One of my engineers left (to go teach in Indonesia or something, one

design more stuff. So instead of looking for a new design engineer, we
might actually prefer a test guy.


So, this person would

Work with engineering at the design stage to make sure things are nice
to build and test. Unique opportunity to be a PITA and get paid for
it.

Write test programs, mostly in PowerBasic.

Design and build (or get built) test sets.

Write test procedures.

Hostile prototype testing. Don't let us get away with anything lazy or
stupid.

Occasionally do some production testing, like when the regular folks
are on vacation or whatever.

Watch over returns and look for failure patterns, and then fix them.
(Our existing people are too timid to storm into engineering and
demand that we fix problems. They just quietly repair failed units and
send them back.)

Possibly, eventually, manage the test department if talents and
personalities permit.

Location is downtown (SoMa) San Francisco.

I figure I'll do the usual ads (Craigslist, SF Chronicle, SJ Mercury,
Monsterboard?) but I figure I'd post it here in case anybody is
interested or knows someone who might be.

What kind of money are you talking about?

I have relatives living at Mr. Larkin's street. Apartments are over
$1500. Houses are over $700,000. I am sure he will pay you enough to
live in the tenderloin.

Rent is really cheap in Opelousas, Louisiana. You could spend the rest
of your life there and save a bundle.
