I've been both lucky and successful, so far, in helping to build this team in San Jose, CA. They're world class; all high profile experts in their respective fields. This one, however, is proving more than usually tough.
Key components of an ideal profile would include design/build experience with low noise amplifiers (for spectromoeter), embedded processor, laser drive circuitry, optical receiver front ends, CCD cameras.
MUST be US-work authorised. Any and all helpful hints, brilliant insights, pointers will be very gratefully received.
and for Design Engg there are many groups like -
*Audio Engineering Society
*Semiconductor Professional's Group
*VLSI Design
*Analog & Mixed Signal Society
*Analog RF Mixed-Signal IC Design & Development Group
You'll need to 'fine tune' it by playing/changing the key words to get very close to what you want- but hopefully this points you in the right direction-
