[ILUG] [JOB] Senior Software and Security Engineer (Southern France)

[Brian Foster]

   The company I work for (Maxim Integrated Solutions) is looking to
   replace a Senior MTS who is leaving.  This is a HW-SW co-design
   role, with an emphasis on security in the financial terminals
   market (i.e., ATMs, PoS (Point-of-Sales (Chip&Pin)) terminals,
   and the like).  The secure SoC's in question all run GNU/Linux,
   with some (usually dual- or BSD-licensed) extensions/modifications
   designed for the security requirements of financial terminals.

   And it's in Southern France.  The design centre is located in the
   hills overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.

   The following is based on the announcement which should appear on
   the website fairly soon.  If you have any questions, please feel
   free to e-mail me (off-list), and then be patient, I'll probably
   be a bit slow in replying (Sorry!).  I am not the hiring manager,
   but you will be working very closely with me.  You do NOT have to
   be fluent in French, but of course that helps; and a reasonable
   standard of English is expected.
