Die Xbox One ist bekannt für ihr klobiges Design und ihre Größe. Eine Slim Version vermuten daher viele. Ein Stellenausschreiben von Microsoft könnte Hinweise liefern, dass eine solche Überarbeitungin der Mache ist. Die Inhalte erwecken zumindest den Anschein, dass Microsoft nach Leuten sucht, die die Xbox One in ein schlankeres Design transportieren könnten. Dass man bereits Leute für die nächste Konsole sucht ist angesichts des jungen Alters und des Erfolgs recht unwahrscheinlich. Wie das originale Stellenausschreiben genau aussieht könnt ihr hier sehen:
- Developing a holistic system-level solution for complex, integrated entertainment devices
- Specifying, designing (schematic capture, PCB layout, BOM, cost analysis),implementing and verifying electrical subsystems on the motherboard.
- Development of subsystem requirements by working with team members to evaluate different solution options for functionality, cost and risk
- Developing electrical solutions, implementing, verifying and supporting in production.
- Working with other engineers across disciplines to design, test and debug complex hardware technologies for product development, to meet aggressive cost and schedule goals.
- Learn, analyze and implement new interfaces and subsystems, break down complex issues and collaborate across cross-functional teams to resolve issues in a timely manner.
- Must be able to plan work and work to a plan, adapting as necessary in a rapidly evolving environment.
Qualifications:
- A BS in Electrical Engineering is a minimum requirement; post-graduate or additional degrees in mechanical engineering, optics, physics, or mathematics preferred.
- A solid understanding of core engineering principles, circuit design and analysis is required.
- Experience with a variety of lab equipment, including but not limited to oscilloscopes, electronics loads, Venable, DMM’s, automation equipment.
- 5-7 years of experience designing, implementing, and shipping consumer electronics products.
- Prior design and implementation, familiarity with PC, embedded system architectures hardware and software.
- Design for manufacturing and test experience is required.
- Knowledge of high volume consumer electronics design and manufacturing is desired.
- Strong bench evaluation and in-lab debugging skills are required.
- Strong communication skills and must be able to clearly express technical concepts in verbal and written forms.
Offiziell gibt es jedoch keine Ankündigung oder kein geäußertes Vorhaben seitens Microsoft, welches eine Xbox One Slim Version andeutet oder bestätigt.
