I have a question for you guys. I know a lot about the design industry, and most designers prefer to work at an agency that gets different projects. Being the in-house designer for a company can get boring fast (I did it forever, and I still do it even though I'm a partner/vice president of our company now). I assume it is the same in software development, correct? We are a CCTV Security business, we import and wholesale DVRs and Cameras to resellers and installers. With these units are software, the DVR's OS is an embedded linux written by the Chinese manufacturer. There's PC & Mac software that acts as a DVR, where you can view your video live, record video to your laptop, download video that's been recorded on the DVR, configure things, etc... It does almost everything the DVR does, so you don't have to go to the unit (a lot of DVR's get installed into racks and tucked into a closet with other routers & network non-sense). Then there are mobile apps that allow you to do the same thing on your phone, but not as in depth. You can view video, view recorded video, take snapshots, receive push notifications if an alarm is triggered (motion detection, HDD Failure, whatever the alarm is). The problem is the Chinese can't write software to save their lives. They're terrible. Horrible. They'll get it working to a certain degree and think that's acceptable and send it out and when you bitch that it can't download an AVI to your computer they don't care, "just don't use that function!" Long story short, there are too many headaches dealing with the manufacturer for software, and we want to create our own software, own the code (the Chinese refuse to let us see any source code for the apps, it's incredible, they'll steal the code from another company, copy it, and then get snooty when you want to buy a copy to make your own changes...). The vendors and software and CCTV industry is progressing a lot more rapidly than it used to, we have 5 & 3 Megapixel and 1080p security cameras, HD-SDI, Network/IP Cameras, and there's a new technology we're launching this year as well. My ideal situation would be to have a software developer on staff, more than fairly compensated (our pay rates are really good, we're not lovely to our employees, we provide healthcare benefits and a good work environment with great hours (mon-fri, 10-6, paid holidays) etc...). This employee would manage and update and write all of our applications, if a new product came in and it was incompatible hopefully he could find a way to make it work with our software. If we want to sell OEM apps to our customers (just throw their logo on it) he can handle that too. The problem is that the project to get started is a huge loving project. We can't get the code for the current software for this employee to work off of. There's an SDK available that has some C++ code examples for certain features, but other than that they're going to be on their own. I met with a friend who works for a software development company, and he said the scope is pretty large and that he'd be uncomfortable doing it alone, and that he'd rather have me pitch it to his company than to hire him. He said if I already had the code it'd be a totally different story. So how do you guys think I should go about this? I suppose I could use a company to develop the software initially, then hire a guy to maintain it as the industry grows and changes, and add features and all that jazz as time goes on. Or I could find someone who wants the challenge and position and they can get to work asap on the coding and hopefully in 6 months we have something to start with... I don't want to ramble too much, but can you guys help me get pointed in the right direction, the protocol of how this industry handles these things, and what my best bet is?

Being the in-house designer for a company can get boring fast (I did it forever, and I still do it even though I'm a partner/vice president of our company now). I assume it is the same in software development, correct? First of all, you need to evaluate your need for making your own software package, and do a cost benefit analysis of producing it. In reality, adding a software product isn't as simple as contracting a dev for a few months to give you a product. You'll want to commit to having a software development team working full time on the software development lifecycle. This means you'll need developers, yes, but you'll also want someone working on design, user experience, collaborating with stakeholders and end users on feature requests, and organizing the development effort to ensure that deliverables are met in a timely and complete fashion. You're also going to want to have at least a full time developer working on test to write and execute automated and manual test cases. At minimum you're looking at three full time employees, though depending on the depth and scope of the program you may want to up that number to add more development and/or test as needed. Does the size of your business allow for this? Do you see a better written program as a vehicle to increase sales enough to compensate for that? Contracting to a company to develop the program will probably be a more difficult, though potentially cheaper in the beginning as long as scope creep doesn't occur. If you want a more established development/stakeholder relationship, i'd do it in house.

Also do you really want to be trying to craft a software package to talk to an undocumented black box that could change at any point? Because you're still relying on whatever poo poo is running on the DVR box. I'd possibly look to building your own PC-based DVRs to work with IP cameras running Milestone or Zone Minder depending on budgets. Or try and find a Chinese DVR manufacturer that doesn't use terrible software (trick question, there aren't any). I think trying to roll your own client software to talk to an undocumented system will eat more cash than you'd ever make reselling what are more than likely cheap low end units.

I have years of experience working closely with Chinese and Taiwanese manufacturers and developers of DVRs, digital media players, and other consumer grade embedded devices. Give up now. If you ever get the source code for the products you've been selling, it'll be a totally useless pile of poo poo that no decent programmer will want to touch. If you try to build equivalent software and/or firmware yourself, you'll never ever be able to make a competitive product. With some really good developers and managers and marketing people you could make a solid product, but it'll be so absurdly expensive that nobody will buy it. Consumers will almost always pick the cheap poo poo over a quality product that costs more. The companies you're working with know their product sucks but they don't care because they pay their workers peanuts and churn out something that sort of almost works and doesn't cost much. Either keep reselling the cheap crap or get out of the business.

e; ^ I think that is as far from our business model and reputation as anything could be. We don't engage in the lowest price ebay bullshit. I don't want to talk too much about the industry publicly, everyone talks to each other so I'll leave it at that.Paladine_PSoT posted:First of all, you need to evaluate your need for making your own software package, and do a cost benefit analysis of producing it.

Caged posted:Also do you really want to be trying to craft a software package to talk to an undocumented black box that could change at any point? Because you're still relying on whatever poo poo is running on the DVR box. Thanks for the responses, this information will help me a lot. To touch a few things: Yes having our own software that we're in complete control of will warrant the price tag. While our yearly revenue is respectable, I'm not so sure we can really have 3 different employees all dedicated to ONLY software, maybe if their responsibilities expanded to a few other technical areas of our business it could warrant that. There's no way we can build a PC based DVR, our volume is way too high and we have way too much credit with China (they're so much better to us than any bank ever could imagine) to not sell their product. Plus our current vendor makes great hardware, and we've made them very successful in America and we can't jump ship, we're too far in bed with each other at this point. One last question, if we were to successfully buy the source code from the vendor, then do you think my ideas/requests are more realistic? GUI stuff isn't important right now, I can design graphics well and the existing look can suffice. Also I do graphic design, if the employee could do the back end well then surely he can use my graphics for the front end? RizieN fucked around with this message at 05:03 on Jan 24, 2014 |

Who we are: LiquidLogic http://liquidlogic.biz/ About the company: A Engineering firm that creates various products for 3rd party vendors. Where we are: Boise, ID Who we are looking for: A experienced C/C++ Programmer with embedded experience, Linux experience is a plus, but not necessary. The candidate will be programming maps for a few already released products, and one non-released product. We are adding maps to the: Marcum LX-6 Marcum LX-7 Marcum LX-9 (Why did we skip the 8? Who knows!) And a new Marcum Tablet. http://marcumtech.com/ Please Note: The LX-6 and LX-7 are embedded and have no RTOS. The LX-9 runs Linux. This means familiarity with low level programming really is a must! About us: We are a stable but small company who primarily contracts to Versa Electronics (a subsidiary of Marcum), my boss has 20+ years of experience in Sonar technology and programming low level embedded devices, so that is our primary focus, however we also program just about anything out there, including light bars for: Ecco Link: http://www.eccolink.com/ APG Cash Drawer: http://www.cashdrawer.com/ (We have done a lot of other embedded projects, but those are some of the bigger ones.) You do not need a lot of Linux experience! I can help you with Linux if you need help, as I am the senior Linux Systems Engineer here, and it is my job to help with integrating your code into our projects. We are well organized! You will have access to all the source code your heart desires either off of SVN (the LX-6 and LX-7) or git (LX-9), this includes schematics, gerber files, and boms as well. We use Basecamp to organize all of our projects as well, and we use Skype and Gmail to communicate with each other, along with of course email. Must you be in Boise? It's a plus, but we also understand that there aren't a lot of people that can do this kind of work that live in the Boise area, so it isn't 100% necessary. Contact: Please Email me at: Aduskett@liquidlogic.biz or PM me for more information.

Who are we? A manufacturing firm in Northwest Florida. Where are we? Destin/Panama City, FL What are we looking for? The position title is: Desktop Administrator / Jr. Systems Administrator, which breaks down to 75-80% break/fix desktop/admin and 20-25% projects. What are we not looking for? If you don't want to do desktop support, this isn't the job for you. There's a lot of opportunity for growth and expansion, but the core role is desktop support. Also, if you have a problem with heavy machinery, this is definitely not the place for you. The Good - There is a lot of opportunity to take on new things and take ownership/management of the current environment through automation. - The team is incredibly supportive and this is a good company to work for. Everyone is grateful for help, and while sometimes people are stressed, everyone is happy when you show up to help. - Relaxed dress code. Jeans and polo are the norm, along with steel-toed boots and hardhat. - We'll buy books and reimburse for successful cert passes. - The beach, if that's your thing, is really close. The Bad - Tasks will change, projects will get reprioritized sometimes. It happens. - There will be days where you don't see your desk, and others where you don't get a call. Usually when things break here, they break at once. - It's a noisy environment. If you need quiet, this isn't the place. Offices are in the plant, and you'll be in and around, servicing things. - I'm the manager. I give direction and set a task and expect you to ask questions if you don't understand something, otherwise I expect that you've got a handle on things. I don't do micromanagement. This has proven to be a problem for a lot of people. How do I apply? PM me or email me at mystic.cookie@gmail.com Anything else? Send me any questions via PM/email.

This is still looking for applicants. We've added a project manager to keep the priorities and workload to a more regular level. So most of the bad and ugly is looking better and prettier. Full benefits means 100% paid health insurance options and 401k with match. This position will have plenty of creative control as well. We're a small team so goals, objectives, and methods of obtaining them are freely discussed and agreed upon. That's part of what makes it a great place to work.

Decided to stay in the US for good this time, so looking to get a job based here. My Experience: I joined a video game art production studio in Beijing as a project manager right out of college but after a year or so took over all of their IT because it needed doing. It's kind of a mixed bag though, I got the office off of XP and up to 7 and 8, restructured our AD domains, manage the internal email and other services, replaced the clunky home router stuff with more appropriate devices so we could more easily connect with our customers via VPN, wrote a few scripts to ease some of the technical issues our artists have had, all sorts of stuff. As we got a bit bigger I hired a couple guys and setup a helpdesk and ticketing system too. EDIT: Also includes some linux experience mainly with ubuntu 12 and centos 6 setting up samba, perforce servers, our internal http stuff (wiki, ticketing, etc.) and other things like that. What I'm looking for: I think I'd be pretty comfortable in a Desktop Support role, but this isn't to say I wouldn't be happy for an opportunity to learn more doing something else. Where I live: San Francisco, CA Where I'm looking: San Francisco, CA. I don't have a car at the moment so probably limiting that to what's accessible within reason via public transit. Can't really relocate due to my wife's situation. Requirements: fulltime When I can start: Need a month's notice.

I manage the website for a non-profit organization which needs a major overhaul from a design perspective. The non profit's priority is hosting its annual convention. However, there's some ancillary things the org wants to do too (merchandise, blog, etc). In general, the site needs to be redone to focus on the convention but have some room for the ancillary stuff as well. Since the org is made up of volunteers, it's difficult to get the exact mix of skills needed as well as focused dedication. As such, I would like to hire a professional to lead the execution to make sure it gets done. As a non profit, we can't be awesomely, but the compensation would be fair. There's also some compelling side benefits. There'd probably be room for more work in the future, many of the volunteers are good people to network with, and if attendance continues to grow as it has in the past years, you may have a modestly popular site in your portfolio.

The test is analogous to an IQ test, basically. It mostly involves figuring out which number is next in a sequence of numbers. It's not a very good measure of much of anything related to anything you'd be doing at IBM and it's just a hurdle IBM people have to jump through.

Didn't you learn how to do things you don't want to do in law school? If you don't want to work at IBM's legal department badly enough to do a stupid little 20-minute thing you don't like, you probably shouldn't even apply. That is pretty much the equivalent of "why do I have to learn about the Civil War, I'll never use this in real life."
