Ask HN: Any US based company interested in an EE/CS Bachelor for free?

TL;DR: My friend is searching for a US-based company to write his master's thesis. You do NOT have to pay him a single dime. He will be available from 4/1/13 to 8/31/13 to work in the US. He has all the required permits to enter and work in the US. - you need to be US-based - no payment towards him - five months total - he's really good - DEADLINE to get in contact with him: 2/24/13 23:59 UTC +0100

Details:

He was already interviewed and selected by a well-known company in the FPGA-industry based in San Jose, CA. He is a student at the University of the German Armed Forces in Munich (Germany) and studies Applied Computer Technologies (A mixture of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science). He is among the five best students in class.<p>His main fields of interest are FPGA- and Microcontroller-programming. He is 25 years old and an officer in the German Armed Forces.

However, due to legal concerns on the companies part, the gig fell apart at the last minute. The company was concerned about him NOT getting any payment (legal concerns about minimum wages in CA).

If you are interested please write an email to kai.wissel@unibw.de - DEADLINE to get in contact with him: 2/24/13 23:59 UTC +0100
