I apologize in advance if job postings are off-topic/deprecated in this 
group.

To summarize: we're looking for someone who can grow/replace a pthread 
based RTOS for our multi-threaded chip. You can read about our company 
at www.sandbridgetech.com. Send me e-mail if you're interested. Its a 
pretty challenging job, working with a small team of fairly competent 
systems programmers.

A little more detail: we have built a 4 core chip, where each core has 8 
*hardware threads* targetted for cell-phone base-band processing.

Briefly each core:
- is low power
- has 8 hardware threads
- issuing 3 way LIW intructions
- with a 4-way SIMD (vector) unit
- running at 600MHz+

We've also got a pretty nice set of tools for it, including a 
vectorizing/multi-threading compiler and a fast simulator.

You can find more details 
http://www.sandbridgetech.com/documents/sandbridge_white_paper_2005.pdf

Currently we've got an RTOS built around the POSIX thread standard. Its 
quite serviceable, *but* we'd like to grow it. We're looking for someone 
who can figure out what to replace, what to optimize and how to extend 
the POSIX standard to support real hardware threads, and then get it done.
