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.
