Ahhhhhhhh nooooo, just when I am heading back to New Zealand a job opportunity I would love comes up. (any chance of getting me a work permit to stay here?)

Highland3r · 30th Oct 2006, 17:07

Limited to only those in Berkshire mate? Or are members from around the UK able to apply?

atanum141 · 30th Oct 2006, 17:08

Im within traveling distance to Berkshire, would that matter?

a basic understanding of technical 3D specifications is required.

What does that intail exactly?

Tim S · 30th Oct 2006, 17:11

I want the testing to be completed in our offices, since there's the full facilities + hardware here - that's why I said Berkshire area. It's a pain having various bits of hardware all over the country and I honestly don't know how we managed in the past.

BioSniper · 30th Oct 2006, 17:11

Shame Berkshire is just SLIGHTLY too far for me (about 60 miles) otherwise this is something that I would at least apply for. Dang!

::edit:: Actually. It depends on where in Berkshire it is as some of it (Bracknell) is actually viable at just 53 miles.

Where in Berkshire exactly is the placement Tim?
EDIT: Im in Middlesex.

If you're willing to cover your travelling to/from our offices, that's fine. Rich (Bindi) travels down from Oxford to come and help with the motherboard reviews, for example.

Do you have an understanding of 3D technology? i.e. do you know the difference between a pixel shader, a vertex shader and a ROP. We're looking for someone that isn't a complete novice when it comes to the tech behind the products - we want you to have a reasonable understanding of how the hardware actually works.

I have a basic idea at how most hardware works, tho Im sure some detailed reading into the subjects would be usefull.

Ok. Well i'll look into seeing how viable it is to get there by the usual methods of transport.

Ascot is about 53 minutes from London Waterloo IIRC.

dire_wolf · 30th Oct 2006, 18:02

specofdust · 30th Oct 2006, 18:02

GL with the search guys, hope you find someone spiffy.
