Microsoft has begun looking for engineers to come and be part of the next generation of Windows Phone devices.
A new job post on the Microsoft Careers website has asked for someone to join the Customer Experience Engineering team, with the post title referencing Windows Phone 7.
But the copy clearly asks for someone to look at the 'next version of Windows Mobile' - which is either an upgrade to WP7 or a whole new version.
Shaping the future
"Do you want to help shape the future of mobile technology? The Mobile Device division is Microsoft's fastest growing business where we are building the next version of Windows Mobile.
"The Customer Experience Engineering (CXE) team has openings for great people to create and drive an infrastructure to delight our customers and end users. You will partner closely with your peers in Test, PM and development, and be engaged throughout all phases of the product life cycle.
"Responsibilities include test automation development, participation in design/code reviews, creation of test tools, creation, review and execution of test plans and helping to innovate the way we verify quality in our products and work with customers."
The ad also says that 'a strong passion for the needs of customers [is] a plus,' highlighting that this is very much about making sure the new OS is consumer, rather than business, facing.
However it will likely be months or even years until we hear about the next version of Windows Phone - we're not going to see WP7 until the end of 2010.
