<fontfamily><param>Times</param>The TAP (Terminal Area Productivity)
simulator is a medium-fidelity simulator for investigating aircraft
taxiing and surface operations under low visibility conditions at NASA
Ames Research Center. The project is prototyping cockpit displays such
as HUD and Map displays.

The simulation software is currently written in C and is being upgraded
to the newest version of SGI Performer. Assignments will include: 1)
participation in the design and development of a new flight simulator
system to replace the current legacy system with an OO design and
language (C++). It is anticipated that the candidate will have a
leadership role in this redesign, and 2) general simulation programming
in support of experimental platforms for human factors research, to
include interface with several researchers in designing, scheduling,
and managing different experiment projects and analysis tools.
Projects are developed on SGI, PC, or Mac.

Required qualifications for this position include: A BS or MS degree in
engineering, mathematics or CS (MS preferred). Experience using OOA/OOD
is required. The candidate must also have an extensive background in
real-time simulation (preferably flight simulation) and real-time
graphics. Thorough knowledge of GL/OpenGL, TCP/IP networking, and
serial communications is mandatory. Experience in SGI Performer is
strongly preferred, and Mac or PC programming is a plus. The applicant
must have excellent oral and written communication skills and must
enjoy working in a highly interactive environment between researchers
and software development staff. Project management experience is a
plus.
