has anyone applied for this one yet? I know Patrick and I applied for the Soft Eng position, but haven't seen anyone saying that they're applying for this one.

They also have a dyno in the building :)

I'm fixing up resume now.

Might give it a go. But i'm not moving for less than 70k.

Congrats to Patrick if he did get it :rofl: D'oh for me though lol, I thought my experience would let me down, another 6-12 months I should have the required C++ experience, but doesn't help right now :) I guess I should be expecting a commiseration call :woot:

Yeah, after three interviews I got a letter of offer today, starting there on the 31st of this month.

The gtr is in for some tough times now i think :nyaanyaa:

Best of luck with other jobs Justin, apparently they had between 50 and 100 applicants for this position. Honestly i'm surprised i got the offer.

Congrats :rofl:

I'll probably stay where I am for now and try to get my C++ experience up over the next 6-12 months. Of course I'd hope to get an inside word on any other positions opening there :O

They said in the interview that most people got the number wrong during the test, so I can at least take heart that I got it right :nyaanyaa:

Yeah that thing was easy, felt like I was back at uni again.. they did a few nasty things though, for example

Class c

{

public:

c(int x, int y) : mx(x), my(x) {}

private:

int mx;

int my;

};

(both 'mx' and 'my' are initialised with the constructor parameter 'x', 'y' is unused)

Once they got onto asking me about design patterns things got a bit more interesting >_<

yeah there were a few traps for the unwary, usually with not using y when you expect them to etc.

My design patterns knowledge sucks :( Uni never covered them, and I haven't had to use any, I could name a singleton though >_<

More study required! I think I may have to do some more personal projects to help, does the world need more Consult software? :(

There was an awesome job for Bosch advertised last year where you design new ABS, stability control and traction control systems and get to travel to places like iceland, germany (nurberg ring) etc and actually test the systems out in different conditions. Needed alot of C++ knowledge also. Dream job

Haha, though the thread title says otherwise, the position Patrick got was the Software Engineer position.

I heard someone went for the Sys Admin position and didn't like the number

Here's a reply to my email qn to them re:$$$...

Hello

Re: your query on salary range for the Systems Administrator position we have available, we don’t put a set salary on our positions available; we have a range, dependant on skills & experience, and work around that basis with the successful applicant.

If you would like to let us know the salary you are seeking, we can advise if this falls into the range we are able to offer

Regards

mmm.. It's definitely beer time, last day of bloody sinus medication today, bring on the weekend!

As far as the $ is concerned, it's competitive with the rest of the market, this rate is for a 6 month trial contract. I think there's a possible re-negotiation at the end of that.

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
