IIT (Integrated Information Technology) is a fairly small start-up VLSI+software
company doing very interesting products (video compression/decompression chips
and software, windows accelerator graphics chips, data compression software and
chips, math coprocessors, and some other stuff).  We are looking for a few
excellent people to join new projects.  If you are interested, or may be if you
know somebody who might be interested in a job with IIT, please do not hesitate
to email to me, or forward this message to others.  IIT's major requirements:
smart and hard-working.

Positions that we are hiring for now:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Logic Design Engineers/Sr. Logic Design Engineers
   Position involves micro architecture, logic modeling, logic design, some
   circuit design, design validation, timing analysis, and layout supervision
   for a large cpu project.  Custom VLSI cpu design experience is big plus;
   custom design experience is a must.  Knowledge of C/UNIX, Verilog, Synopsis,
   ECS (schematic capture), and Cadence layout tools is a plus.  Knowledge of
   PC/DOS is a plus as well.  MSEE with minimum 2-5 years of experience, or
   equivalent.

Sr. Circuit Design Engineers
   Senior position responsible for circuit design on a custom VLSI project.
   Experience in fast digital datapath circuits, clock distribution networks,
   etc. is required.  Experience in designing fast cache memories, PLL's, and
   fast I/O circuits is a big plus.  Custom cpu design experience is big plus!
   Knowledge of Verilog, ECS (schematic capture), Cadence layout tools, and
   C/UNIX is a plus.  Knowledge of PC/DOS is a plus as well.  MSEE with minimum
   5 years of experience, or equivalent.

Positions that we will be hiring for shortly:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Floating Point Expert
   Senior position responsible for definition, architecture, logic and circuit
   design, as well as for putting it all together, for the next generation
   floating point unit.  Start by yourself through the definition and the
   high-level design stage, then add people as necessary.  High speed custom
   FPU design experience is a must.  Knowledge of C/UNIX, Verilog, Synopsis,
   ECS (schematic capture), and Cadence layout and verification tools is a plus.
   Knowledge of PC/DOS is a plus as well.  MSEE with minimum 5 years of
   experience, or equivalent.

Positions that we are always hiring for:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
386-assembly and DOS architecture/software/diagnostics positions
   Thorough knowledge of x86 architecture, 386 assembly, DOS internals, PC
   architecture, BIOS, chipset architectures, and C is required.  Work closely
   with VLSI design team.  Experience with ICE and firmware is a plus.
   Familiarity with porting on a PC and knowledge of Windows is a plus.
   MSCS/MSEE with minimum 5 years of software experience, or equivalent.

Summary on IIT:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   5 years old
   profitable for 4 years
   about 120 people
   private

   4 announced product lines:
	a. video compression/decompression chips and software (at&t picture
	   phone, compression labs teleconferencing products, as well as others
	   use iit's chips; iit is the leader in programmable teleconferencing
           chip-sets); (you can see the at&t picture phone at Good Guys).
	b. graphics: XGA compatible windows accelerator chips and software
	   drivers, ISA and local bus (the fastest on the market today, faster
	   than ATI or S3).
	c. data compression software and hardware (called XtraDrive, check it
           out at Fry's or your favorite distributor).
	d. 287/387 Intel compatible math co-processors (check them out at Fry's
	   or your favorite distributor); (company's first product line).

    The company also has several not announced product lines.  One of them I
    am working on.  In general, the company's goal is to provide innovative
    solutions for the processing, storage, access, display, and communication
    of electronic information.

    I think the above is not too bad for a 120 people total (R&D now is about
    50 people).
