DOORS Engineer

I am looking to hire a DOORS engineer for a 6-month contract, with potential for contract-to-hire.

I'm especially interested in what venue the group here has found to be most effective for locating a person with previous DOORS skillset?

Here is a brief description of what I have envisioned:

• Train and mentor users.
• Troubleshoot DOORS problems.

• Develop and implement common best practices for DOORS to support requirements management throughout the organization.
• Import requirements from other databases to DOORS.
• Work with Systems Engineers to extract stakeholder requirements.

I think you'll find that most people in this forum (developerworks) are already on a project or are full time employed. A better bet would be to post in Linkedin. There is a Telelogic DOORS group there that has occasional calls for expertise. Try using DOORS Deployment Professional as a keyword. Also, unless you are on pre 9.2 and have no intention of upgrading, I'd lose the WEXP, and look for someone who has RPE (Rational Publishing Engine) experience.
Good Luck

Hi Desi

I would also confirm that linkedIn is the best approach.

IBM Rational DOORS (ex Telelogic DOORS) User Group

You might also want to specify whether you only want US nationals and any security considerations.
A flavour of the domain would also be useful for prospective candidates.

I tend to help companies on a part time rather than full time basis - this is by far the best approach if you want mentoring and guidance.

For example, see my profile:

Send me an email at gordon.woods@bcs.org.uk if would like further assistance.

Best Wishes and good luck
