Now on the first one, it clearly says "

[...] Engineer in this role will also be responsible for qualification of injection molded lenses, accessory components, camera module, and solid state light sources.
Coincidence much?

It also says

"Experience in developing high-volume (millions of products/year) and consumer products preferred.
Working knowledge of CMOS and CCD image sensors." Now as for a job still applicable today, that seems really fishy.

Also with Job two "Hardware Engineer 2-IEB-Kinect Sensor Development (750764) Job"

This position is for an Electrical Engineer to be part of the Kinect’s Sensor development team. The position involves successfully working closely with industrial designers, electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, software engineers, test engineers, component engineers, and program managers.
The responsibilities of this position are focused on specifying, designing, implementing and verifying subsystems in the sensor electrical design. This includes owning the part selections, schematic capture, PCB layout, BOM, and cost analysis of the subsystem design. The development of the subsystem will start with requirements definition working with team members. You will then be responsible for evaluating the different solution options for functionality, cost and risk, followed by developing the solution, implementing, verifying, releasing to manufacturing and supporting it in production.
It pretty much self explanatory. Microsoft is still hiring kinect dev's. Implying a new or improved kinect.

I seriously hope that money hungry Microsoft doesn't do this. I just bought a new kinect and the thing hasn't even been out that long.
