Microsoft Looking For Hardware Tech Employees
The current situation with the United States economy is brutal. If you’re looking for work, chances are you aren’t holding your breath wondering where and if you will ever be employed again. It’s times like these that being able to do something a little off the beaten path pays off, something like electrical engineering.
 
If that’s something that you spent god-only-knows how much money to pursue by way of a college education, Microsoft could be your next employer. A recent job listing says the company is looking to hire a staff of individuals to design a new Xbox 360 motherboard. Per the listing it says, “The responsibilities of this position are focused on specifying, designing (schematic capture, PCB layout, BOM, cost analysis), implementing and verifying the mother-board and other various sub-system boards that make up the Xbox 360 product line.” Being a Communications major, that didn’t really make a lick of sense to me. If it does to you, beyond just knowing the jargon, then you should probably send them your resume.
