Its getting so you can't tell the players without a scorecard! ;-) I seem to
recall many years ago they were early Ada adopters for something called
"Advanced Artillery Tactical Field Data System" - or something pretty much like
that. I didn't know that the company had changed hands. I'd be curious about
what projects are still being done there in Ada.

Weather? We're in the midst of the Hot&Humid Season, to be followed by the
changing colors of the license plates, indicating the start of Tourist Season.
Its a great place for Ada Software Engineers to live. Now if I can only get
Magnavox/Hughes/Raytheon to decide to let me telecommute, we might have a deal
for this "Exceptional Opportunity" :-)

I'd be inclined to agree. Anyone with a sufficient background in software engineering ought to be
able to learn Ada and become competent in it in less time than this position seems to have been
open. Possibly, they need someone who would fit into a "key designer" role where long term
experience in Ada would be much less easily replaced.

Or maybe the money is laughable? Or there are really dozens of jobs behind this offer and they
have not filled them all? Lots of speculation is possible.

It's called AFATDS (Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data System) -- still
going, and I'd bet that's the project with the opportunity.

Presumably Ada was chosen because it is not limited to
31-character identifiers :-).

Actually it's Raytheon now.  We just had a guy leave here to go there.

Ft. Wayne, IN? That's got to be Magnavox. I've been to Indiana & I think
Florida is a bit warmer - at least in winter. My idea of an "excellent relo
package" is if they will relocate the company to West Palm Beach. (I could get
them a dozen or so top notch Ada programmers if they did!) Or maybe they'll
let me telecommute? :-)

Although I am not looking for a job, and I have nothing against Ft. Wayne,
this particular opening has been posted enough that I think it the sort of
case where one should take a programmer who wants the Midwest and teach
them Ada. Or "software engineer" if you prefer, but I am not the sort
to give great weight to job titles.

That won't do much good if you want someone who is experienced with Ada.

What used to be Magnavox became part of Hughes Aircraft, several years ago,
and in late 1997, the defense portion of Hughes became part of Raytheon.

As to the weather .... I won't disagree.

Which reminds me of an Ada class I was teaching at a Navy base.  We
came to the subject of access types.  As I began to discuss dynamic
allocation, one of the civilian employees of the Navy in the back of
the room raised his hand and asked, "Richard, does this mean we are
going to be up to our access types in allocators?"

Don't forget the coral snakes, and fire-ants, and encephalitis-carrying
mosquitoes, and the feral pigs...

And of course this time of year, Floridians are mowing their lawns twice
a week.

Oh, we have quite a few gators out here in the front yard of Pratt's
engineering building, but as long as you don't try to feed them or pet
them, they're content to soak in the sun and go for a swim from time to
time. Pretty much the same way I am when the weekend comes around.
