The level of expertise is primarily in the software dev, or hardware support enviroments. I really don't know what the complete requirement is, but they are searching for many people.

But I'm sure that just listing an area of expertise wouldn't hurt the project any. Or at least a job description. I'm not saying they need to tell us all about it, but they're only hurting their chances of getting the best person for the job by not even saying "we need a sysadmin with Java skills" or whatever.

Most companies are quite happy to go on and on (at length) about their brilliant idea, and want to show you how wonderful it all is, and why wouldn't you want to be involved? To continue the analogy from my last comment - it smells fishy :P L Thinking a little more about this, and the fact that they won’t tell what the project is makes me think they’re ashamed of it, or think that no one would want to work on it if they knew what it was about.

Most of them have an area of expertise, and very few would be willing to work outside this. It sounds like a fishing expedition to me, and unfortunately all they're likely to catch are people with very few skills. Broad but shallow is never a good thing in this industry. Best of luck to them, they'll need it. L Of the engineers I know, none of them would be likely to respond to this ad.
