This vacancy was posted on 11/19/09 It is no surprise that all of us here are die-hard music fans. We too love to listen to salsa in the kitchen, techno in the office, and rock in the garden - which is why we worked so diligently and passionately to create the Digital Music System. It sounds great, looks amazing and works the way it should - easily and intuitively. We hope you'll agree.
When we set out to create a digital music system that would revolutionize the way people listened to music in their homes, the first thing we did was to recruit the best and the brightest. Here you'll find experts from every discipline - consumer electronics, software, networking, and professional audio, combined. They came to us with product resumes that would make any company proud, including everything from LCD remote control devices and Internet mail to Web authoring tools and a synthesized grand piano.
And, because it takes a truly Herculean team effort to make truly great products, our software developers work side by side with audio engineers, hardware engineers, industrial designers, and usability engineers. It's not a common occurrence - so we've been told - but we have proof that it works.
