Microsoft is using LinkedIn to kick off recruitment for development of its next generation gaming console, the much anticipated (and not really named) 'Xbox 720'.
The Beyond 3D forum unearthed the listings. The first, for a Graphics Hardware Architect demands that the candidate will be, "responsible for defining and delivering next-generation console architectures from conception through implementation.
It continues, "The responsibilities include architecture analysis, key technology selection, architecture specification, communication and collaboration with extended Microsoft teams and partner companies.
"The ideal candidate will have been the lead architect and/or implementation lead of a 3D graphics core. The candidate must have taken designs from investigation to end-customer shipment during their career."
Next up is an ad for a Senior Architect and Performance Engineer for the Xbox Console Architecture Group. This states that, "Our group is involved in product definition from early evaluation all the way through high volume manufacturing."
It continues, "The main focus of this position is on performance evaluation and modelling. However, involvement in all aspects of product development regularly occurs. We are looking for someone who is flexible, and wants to be involved with various stages of the product life cycle. During different stages of the product life cycle responsibilities will vary."
There is also an ad for a "Senior Hardware Design Verification Engineer, responsible for elements of development in both Xbox 360 and its next-gen successor."
"You will be responsible for the design verification and qualification of the Xbox console at the component, motherboard, and system levels.
"You will lead test strategy discussions, develop test methodologies and plans and project-manage qualification cycles."
More when we get it.
