I was going to say I seriously doubt he would go from one company to another doing the exact same thing so quickly.

Surely he has some non compete clause or something he has signed previously.

One would think a non-compete clause would prevent him from working for a direct competitor period, regardless of job title.

Doesn't work that way -- a non-compete clause can't keep you from being employed in the industry. It's not slavery.

An *enforceable* non-compete clause has to be very specific about the areas being off limits. So a non-compete citing physics processing on GPU is likely to be held up in court, one saying you can't work for any past, present or future competitor in any capacity is not.
