TITLE:  Signal Products Engineering Manager

LOCATION: San Diego CA

RELO: yes, pack and move, househunting, temp housing

Our client will ship about $65 million this year, with a plan
next year for $85 million.  They could book over $100 million next year.
The good news is that they are achieving this kind of growth due to market 
growth in LAN's as well as gaining market share against competitors.

Now, the position...

Engineering Manager - the ideal candidate will come from a manufacturer of
LAN technology.  An example would be Novell, manufacturing PC LAN interface
boards.  A working knowledge of IEEE 802.X standards, analog filter design and
magnetic technology is key.  The best applicant will bring skills in 3 areas;
of management, technology, and business. The priority is to acquire a seasoned
manager with an enlightened, participative management style.  Technology is
next, primarily in LAN technology with an ability to refresh what may be ancient
knowledge in high frequency filter design.  The business aspect is where 
the growth opportunity for the individual is found.  Specific working 
knowledge of Ethernet and Token Ring applications would be great.  The 
magnetics knowledge would be nice, but a good analytical problem solver can 
master the magnetics technology pretty quickly.

The prime need is for a buffer, to remove VP from too much day to day detail.
This is why management style is important, along with adequate technical
knowledge to ensure good technical decisions are being made.

BSEE  required, MSEE a plus, probably 7 to 10 years experience.

Other Factors:

*  Dynamic environment - Individuals for these position must be able to balance
many assignments with volatile priorities.  Candidates must thrive in an
environment of multiple, short term assignments.

*  Culture - They are currently shifting the culture from
one of "start-up, entrepreneurship" to one with solid fundamentals and
disciplines.  Candidates must be motivated to contribute to this cultural change
and not feel threatened by change.  Within their disciplines, they must be
"Change Masters" that can lead necessary change within their responsibilities.

*  Travel - Candidates will have ample opportunity for
international travel (to manufacturing facilities over seas).  Engineers 
typically design not only for functionality of the product, but for the 
manufacturing process as well.  Candidates must appreciate the subtleties of 
design for manufacture, which takes place in the PRC (People's Republic 
of China) and the Phillipines. They are targeting a manufacturing startup in 
Ireland as well.

*  Volume - Their market is basically commodity, high volume.  Some of these
products are produced at the rate of 250,000 per week.  Low cost design for high
volume manufacture is a must.

The core technology is magnetics in small form factors.  The migration of these
products is toward surface mount products, in that their components must be
surface mountable.  They're also a user of surface mount.
