Position at Philips Respironics

Posting for EMET sent in by a recent graduate at Philips Respironics:
We are looking for an additional developer in the group I work within to help with some validations and eventually LabVIEW development. So, I like this position because it is with Philips Respironics which is an phenomenal company I have come to realize and also it fits well with the degree you are providing graduating engineers with. This position is a full-time one year contract position however there are health benefits and vacation/sick time available which doesn’t come with all contract positions. If you could pass this e-mail around to anyone you see fit and have them respond to me, that would be great! Don’t worry about all of the requirements listed, as you already know- they are not all firm requirements for the position we are trying to fill.
Regards,
