FIRST Positions Posted

I was cruising the FIRST website and saw more than a few positions posted within the last few days.

http://www.usfirst.org/aboutus/content.aspx?id=972

The most interesting position posted, IMO, Mentor/Coach Program Services Coordinator. Looking at the description it seems to be a position that will really help to develop some resources and relationships with coaches and mentors across all of the programs. Looks like an awesome opportunity for FIRST and our community!

Nate

Re: FIRST Positions Posted

I hope the Mentor/Coach Program Services Coordinator position is filled by an experienced FIRST mentor willing to move to a higher level of involvement. Besides helping recruit new mentors, this individual might be in a position to help FIRST HQ make choices that don't adversely impact mentors. Last year, FIRST rolled out a few things that added to the burden and stress of mentors. A voice within FIRST HQ who knows what mentors deal with (especially late in build season) might have convinced the "power-that-be" to do things a bit differently.

I also noted the KOP and FRC Software Engineer openings. I hope these are an augmentation rather than replacement for current staff. Those positions are very challenging and are critical to the new season's success. The Field Management System (FMS) has had development issues, but has matured since it's major overhaul in 2009. Unless FIRST plans yet another revamp of field communications, the knowledge of the current staff is critical to improving the performance and reliability of FMS.

Re: FIRST Positions Posted

I think Kate might be getting an assistant instead.

At least I hope.

I played "put stuff in boxes" with her exactly once. All I'll say is that she certainly deserves one by now.
