You are addressing this proposal to the wrong group. You want to be
talking with an "embedded systems engineer" with strong ethernet
programming skills. This probably will not be much of a job for them as
it is likely you don't know enough to conceive a requirement of any
complexity. The people who know this sub-specialty can draw on several
candidate reference designs off the top of their head very quickly, and
patch together the software already at their disposal to get a prototype
working quickly. The main problem you will have is that the person who
takes you up the the offer will have something wrong with them.
