Quite possibly, I hope that`s the angle - I have a myriad of different thoughts on this...if you look at the description, they`re looking for a special blend - by the looks of the description, they need someone with a Engineer/PR people-skills type of makeup:

* IN DEPTH engineering and technical knowledge of semiconductor industry, including understanding the fundamental microprocessor designs, including clock/PLL circuitry, instruction fetch, decode, execution, etc.

* Excellent oral and written communication and presentation skills that enable incumbent to work effectively and be recognized as an EXPERT in microprocessor designs and

documentation

* Able to translate the “language of engineering” into business conversation, and comfortable with talking to non-engineering audiences

* Entrepreneurially oriented with overall business knowledge, collaborative, and willingness to work in team environment.

* Ability to discuss electronic systems and microprocessor designs and solutions with market analysts and microprocessor sales representatives

Now how do you find that mix in a kid fresh out of school with 1-2 years in the industry?

I`ll tell ya something. If I knew my microprocessors, and the salary was more realistic, I`d be interested...
