Subject: Subject: Scheme job at NASA (repost)
Date: Wed, 31 May 2000 19:47:01 GMT
Note: This is a reposting of an ad that appeared last week, with a few
modifications.
We are currently seeking a software engineer who enjoys doing creative,
intellectually challenging work as part of a team of engineers and
researchers. This position is with Raytheon at the NASA Ames Research
Center, located in Mountain View, CA.
The selected individual will support the development of an innovative 3D
simulation software package that allows designers to incorporate Human
Factors principals into crewstation designs.
The software, developed on a Unix platform, is primarily coded in C++,
but its core cognitive models are written in Scheme using functional and
object-oriented approaches. We are in need of a strong Lisp/Scheme
programmer to develop new cognitive models, as well as enhance the
existing ones. This is a focused position offering extremely
interesting work for someone who loves Lisp and has an interest in
cognitive science or AI. In addition, the position offers the
opportunity to work with a team of cognitive modelers in developing new
models and defining new directions for research, development and
application of the software.
This position requires:
- excellent verbal and written communication skills
- expertise in Scheme or Lisp
- familiarity with functional and object-oriented programming
- good working knowledge of C++ or C
- creativity, enthusiasm, self-motivation, team player
- BS degree or higher in relevant field (or equivalent knowledge)
- US Citizenship or Permanent Residency
Desired are:
- background/interest in cognitive science, human factors, or AI
- experience with language design and implementation (interpreters)
- experience in developing graphical user interfaces
- experience developing software on a Unix platform
- graduate degree
If interested please respond to Mike Dalal. Send email to the address
formed by concatenating my last name, the "at" sign, and
"eos.arc.nasa.gov". I prefer ascii, though ps, html, pdf, and word are
fine. You may also send postal mail:
