Real Time is looking for a sub-contractor that calls themselves a Java Architect. What is a Java Architect? This is a person who helps document the design aspect of a project. I know each company has its own definition for a software life cycle, so here are more details on what we would expect from a Java Architect. This person would be responsible for working our client to document the vision and the vision statement of the project. Using the vision, this person would create a project scope, and finally a functional specification. We are -not- looking for a developer. So, if you just want to write code, this is not a position for you. This person understands that customers do not want a technical solution, they want their vision fulfilled. I could post all the skills we are looking for in this individual, but that would be no fun. I'd give you all the questions -and- the answers. :-) If you are truly a software architect you'll know what skills sets are required for the position. Please send resumes or links to resumes to jobs at real-time.com, include availability and hourly rate. Thanks. -- Bob Tanner <tanner at real-time.com> | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.mn-linux.org | Fax : (952)943-8500 Key fingerprint = 6C E9 51 4F D5 3E 4C 66 62 A9 10 E5 35 85 39 D9
