Thanks - although I worked with robotics from about 1982 to 2002 - I have not worked with them for the last 7 years - which means to recruiters - I have no experience. It was the same thing with machine vision. Worked with it for about 20 years - only once in the last 7 years - so people actively searching - won't consider me.
It's a crazy mixed up world.

All,
It seems the recession has not hit our area, which is highly concentrated with researchers like myself. While there is no guarantee our fortune will continue, I know there is hiring all over the laboratory in different areas. Keith, there is an entire robotics group that does some very cool stuff. I assume that is where your machine automation could be applied.
While I am located in Washington state, Battelle, which operates our laboratory and several others around the country, is headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, where they have a campus of roughly 4000 employees, IIRC (our campus also has that many up here also). Check out Battelle, as well as the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (www.pnl.gov), Oak Ridge National Laboratory (in Oak Ridge, Tennesee), Brookhaven National Laboratory (in Long Island, NY), or Idaho National Laboratory (BFE land in Idaho).
There are also other national laboratories not operated by Battelle. Sandia National Laboratory (in Albuquerque, NM), Los Alamos National Laboratory (in Los Alamos, NM), Savannah River (in South Carolina - don't know which city off the top of my head), Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (Livermore, CA), Lawrence Berkely National Laboratory (Berkeley). The Nevada Test Site also hires people with differing backgrounds in various roles.
Randy, your sales and IT background would make you a good candidate for project and program management up here. There is always a need for people who can sell stuff but still speak the technical language. You may want to check out Savannah River.
Cee, all of these laboratories have huge financial groups who need people with your background to fill various roles.
I realize none of these possibilities are located in Florida (if there were, I'd be THERE), but I am happy to help any Gators where I can if you want to apply to PNNL up here. The cost of living up here is low relative to the salaries, which has been really nice. I've been here 15 years and I still love my job.
Cheers!
Stacey
