IEEE-KC Electronic NL, 19 AUG 2009

Brought to you by the IEEE, Kansas City Section. www.ieee-kc.org

This individual will plan, develop, troubleshoot, and enhance product designs. This entails utilizing electrical engineering design skills to perform tasks independently, from concept to post manufacturing.

As a member of the group with valuable experience, it is expected that the qualified individual will be called on by other members and departments for assistance in their field of expertise. This position interacts with customers, Product Support, Sales marketing, production, and quality.

ill need a Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, 5 years of post-degree experience, background in the application of electronic instruments to measure dynamic events, such as explosive tests and computer, analog, and digital circuit design. For immediate consideration please contact Stacy Yelton at stacy.yelton @ yoh.com (paste into e-mail client and remove the spaces).

It's worth noting that Garmin has been an avid support of the various IEEE Society Chapters here in KC. It's also a company founded by, and run by, engineers.

Garmin is now looking for folks who could fill these positions:

• Java Applications Developers.
• Database Developers.
• Software Quality Specialists.
• Global Project Analyst.
• Exchange Systems Administrators.
• IT Compliance Manager.

If you know anyone who could fill such positions, have them:

1. Post a resume at www.Garmin.com/careers.
2. E-mail same to mark.ford @ garmin.com (paste into your e-mail client and remove the spaces). Let him know you are an IEEE member, and IEEE got its information from HUG KC.

Mark has graciously offered to help IEEE members move through the system. He'll alert the HR folks to watch for your resume.

Editor's note: There's a very good book called "Don't Send a Resume," and it explains why sending a resume is basically not an effective approach. However, when the hiring managers haven't come across people via personal contact, they then turn to HR. It is HR that relies on the resume approach (which makes sense for them, but not for you). This situation is precisely why Mark Ford is providing this extra help to IEEE members.  -- Mark L.

If you have information of interest to IEEE Kansas City Section members, please send that to the Publications Officer (writer @ ieee.org). Here are some examples of what we're looking for:

News pertaining to individual IEEE members of all grades, including students:

• Awards, promotions, appointments, honors.
• Notable achievements.
• "Looking for work"--send a paragraph explaining what you do and how to reach you.
• Obituaries.

News to benefit other members

• Technical courses, programs, seminars, lectures, lunch and learns, and tours open to members of the Section, a Society Chapter, or an Affinity Group Chapter.
• Technical resources. A technical book or Website you found particularly useful.
• Job openings.
• Mentoring opportunities.
• Updates on such groups as FIRST.

There is no "deadline." Just send information as you get it, and the Publications Officer will add it to the next eNL (if the item is appropriate and if space permits--and space nearly always permits).
