Title: Research Engineer
Location: SRI International, Menlo Park, CA, USA
Start Date: Approximately 3/1/97
Salary: $42K - $67K
Length: permanent position
Primary duty: Join a team to design, implement, test, and demonstrate
TerraVision II, a VRML-based high-speed networked application for
viewing extremely large (10's of G-Bytes) terrain database. See
http://www.ai.sri.com/~magic/ for more information.
Other Duties: Join a team to design, implement, test, and demonstrate
other graphics applications, in particular: (1) multi-user
graphics/virtual-reality applications using advanced multi-server
architectures and advanced networks; (2) a surgical simulation and
training system using SRI's 7 degree-of-freedom, two-arm
force-feedback console; (3) other graphics applications for image
processing projects. Write technical reports and contact potential
clients for graphics/virtual reality technology.
Experience: At least 3 years of experience in computer graphics,
and 1 year experience in networking and distributed
databases.
Extensive experience with Unix, C/C++, Silicon Graphics, IrisGL, OpenGL,
Inventor, Performer, the X Windows system, VRML are key.
Familiarity with image processing, Common Lisp/CLOS, and Java
are a plus. Having a security clearance, or being able to get one,
is also a plus.
Education: BS or MS degree in CS/EE.
Company description:
The Artificial Intelligence Center (AIC) is an integral part of SRI
International, formerly known as the Stanford Research Institute. As
part of a research institute, it carries out comprehensive and
effective long-term programs. At the same time, the Center provides
the stimulation and creative exchange of ideas characteristic of an
academic setting by maintaining associations with universities and
other research groups and by providing opportunities for students and
visiting fellows from the United States and abroad to participate in
ongoing projects.
The AIC Perception Program performs research in machine vision,
computer graphics, expert systems, and evidential reasoning. Our work
in machine vision encompasses a broad range of activities, from
research into the fundamental principles of vision in man and machine,
to applications in remote sensing, cartography, advanced automation,
and defense.
The AIC is one of the world's major centers of research in artificial
intelligence. Founded in 1966, the AIC has been a pioneer and a major
contributor to the development of computer capabilities for
intelligent behavior in complex situations. Its objectives are to
understand the computational principles underlying intelligence in man
and machines and to develop methods for building computer-based
systems to solve problems, to communicate with people, and to perceive
and interact with the physical world.
The Virtual Reality Program (now part of the Perception Program)
explores the technology that has come to be known by such terms as
virtual-reality, tele-presence, and cyber-space. The program has three
main thrusts: development of new hardware and software components for
virtual-reality systems, development of virtual-reality applications,
and evaluation of the (application-dependent) sensory requirements of
virtual-reality systems.
