C# / .NET Software Engineer, Highly Interactive UI's
Windows GUI Software Engineer
Participate in the specification, design, and development of innovative technologies that enable interoperability of Public Safety radio and telephone equipment. Specifically development of product features. This project provides vital tools to make disaster and emergency management more effective. This system literally helps the heroes in our communities to save lives.
IPICS - the umbrella name for the system - uses Voice over IP (VoIP) technology to allow previously incompatible communication systems to interoperate. This allows, for example, the police in one county to talk with the fire department in another even though their radio systems operate on different frequencies and using different technologies. This cooperation and interaction is vital in emergency or disaster situations and your efforts will help to build and expand this vital tool.
Primary Responsibilities:
The key responsibilities of this position are to provide the visual experience (GUI) for innovative voice and other features on Windows PC clients. Strong Windows GUI design and implementation skills - preferably using Windows Presentation Foundation. Exceptional C# and C/C++ skills are required.
Tasks include specifying, designing and refining the Graphical User Interface to enrich the user's experience, designing and implementing in such a way as to allow a customizable user experience (e.g. the skins on Media Player) - depending on fit and technical skills - additional work on back-end components such as adding features to the SIP (Session Initiation Protocol), or media (RTP) layers, or enhancing system security.
Work on the PMC will expose the candidate to a number of interdisciplinary skills including VoIP, Graphical User Interface design (using Microsoft Presentation Foundation - WPF). Advanced coding and unit testing techniques skills. An understanding on how radio and wireless systems operate is a plus, though no prior knowledge of radios, or public safety operations is required.
Requirements:
Candidate must have 3+ years of Windows GUI (WPF, MFC) coding experience. With at least one year of this effort must have included a highly interactive commercial quality application.
Strong understanding of how to make a visually and operationally functional user application.
Two plus years of hands-on experience in software design, documentation and implementation to include multi-threaded, multi-platforms/distributed applications.
The ideal candidate will also have VoIP related coding experience including understanding of media transport protocols, signaling protocols, encoding methods, voice mixing and end-to-end transport issues.
Skills Summary:
Languages: C#, C/C++
Technologies: highly interactive GUI, multithreading
Software/Tools: VC++, WPF/.Net or non-trivial MFC applications
Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP, Vista (WinMobile/Pocket PC a plus)
Protocols: (Multicast, UDP, SIP, RTP, RTCP a plus)
Education:
Typically requires a BSEE/CS combined with 2-5+ years related experience.

Fortune Names Cisco a “Best Company to Work For"
For the 10th year in a row, Cisco has been named one of The 100 Best Companies to Work For in the U.S by Fortune Magazine. Cisco catapulted up the ranking to number 11 for 2007 from number 25 in 2006, making the company the largest technology employer in the top 20.
Among large companies (with more than 10,000 employees), Cisco placed third among 39, behind the grocery chains Wegmans and Whole Foods Markets.
Cisco Is an All StarCisco is one of only three high-tech companies named to Fortune's All Star list, a compilation of 18 companies that have appeared on the 100 Best Companies to Work For list every year since its inception in 1998. Cisco was also one of 10 companies lauded for having the lowest employee turnover during the 12-month period surveyed.
"Our employees are the foundation of the company's innovation. It's clear that Cisco's inclusion on Fortune's 100 Best Companies to Work For list is a strong indication of the passion our employees feel for their work,” says Brian Schipper, SVP, Human Resources. "The fact that Cisco has been on the list for all 10 years indicates that this is a place to build long, successful careers."
Many factors went into the Fortune ranking. More than 400 Cisco employees were randomly selected to fill out a 57-question survey compiled by the Great Place to Work Institute in San Francisco . Results from the survey, which asked about job satisfaction, attitudes toward management, and camaraderie within the organization, account for two-thirds of the overall score.
The remaining third comes from the Great Place to Work Institute's evaluation of the company's responses to a Culture Audit, which includes detailed questions about demographic makeup, pay, and benefits programs, and open-ended questions about the company's people-management philosophy, internal communications, development opportunities, compensation practices, and diversity programs.
Fortune also credited Cisco's business success as being one reason for its high ranking, specifically mentioning that John Chambers managed the company through the dot-com bubble burst to achieve record sales and a 60 percent increase in stock prices for 2006. The article mentioned that almost all employees are shareholders.
More than 1,500 companies applied for a place on the 2007 list. The Great Place to Work Institute considered m ore than 446 companies for the top 100.
