I think the requirement is that the person be able to work in the lab with the guy when he needs it. He doesn't want someone who can only work from far away. I mentioned Forth to the guy and his reason for not using it was the lack of available talent. Even if the perfect Forth guy shows up that doesn't mean he will hire him. I think he has concerns about finding people in the long term. He seems to have no trouble finding C people, but he hasn't worked with the ARM yet, but he wants to. Someone who has experience with both 8051 and ARM CPUs would have a leg up. The OP is a hardware guy so he doesn't do much software. -- Rick
