Makin' Some Noise
I've recently negotiated a contract via Motorola for the Operations & Maintenance on the (soon-to-launch) Sprint Xohm WiMAX network being deployed in the Greater Chicago area. As part of that contract, I've got 4 openings for IP Systems Engineers as described below. These are local positions only with a minimum 40 hrs/wk, and will be on an annualized basis. I thought I'd give my FJR-owning brothers and sisters a peak and see if either they or someone they know (or may recommend) would be interested. (This is posted on telecomcareers.net)
