Knowledge-based Engineering Systems Research Laboratory
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

The Knowledge-based Engineering Systems Research Laboratory (KESRL) at
the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) invites
applications for the position of Software Engineer.  KESRL is
affiliated with the Department of Mechanical and Industrial
Engineering, Department of Computer Science, and the Beckman Institute
for Advanced Science and Technology at UIUC. The research mission of
this laboratory is to develop advanced AI-based software systems and
integrate them with computer-aided engineering tools to enhance
collaboration of engineering teams for concurrent product and process
development tasks.  The laboratory receives strong sponsorship from
industry and government organizations.

The Software Engineer provides a high level of programming expertise
and experience in the development, evaluation, implementation and
delivery of state-of-the-art software systems for engineering
automation. The primary requirement of this position is the ability to
develop, implement, evaluate and deliver large-scale software systems
for real-world engineering applications. In this capacity, the
Software Engineer is also responsible for technical assignments given
by the Director of KESRL, interaction with graduate research
assistants/post-doctoral research associates at KESRL and its
project sponsoring companies, cooperation with other software
engineers, and for the technical and substantive outcomes of the
project development effort.  The person fulfilling this position must
be a creative, innovative self-starter with good technical,
inter personal, and communication skills.
 
Potential candidates must have an M.S. degree in computer science,
computer engineering, information science, or related engineering
subjects.  A minimum of three years work experience in applicable
areas is required.  A B.S. degree with very extensive work experience
will also be considered.  Background in design and manufacturing
automation and experience with the manufacturing industry would be
highly desirable.  The person fulfilling this position must have U.S.
citizenship, and in-depth knowledge and experience in the following
technical areas:
  	
 * AI programming techniques with LISP language
 * database systems and management techniques 	
 * interface to CAD and solid modeling systems 	
 * X/Motif based window interfaces 	
 * LISP interfaces using CLIM, CLM, etc.  	
 * operations of UNIX workstations 	
 * software engineering methodologies 	
 * software implementation and support for industrial applications
 
The University of Illinois has very strong programs in various
engineering disciplines and computer science.  The successful
candidate will have opportunities to interact with faculty and
students from these programs, and to work directly with KESRL sponsors
to demonstrate research results with industry-scale problems.  The
salary for this position will be commensurate with the applicant's
technical experience and background.  Benefit and health insurance
plans are provided by the University.  This is an academic
professional position on a full-time, twelve month, non-tenure basis.
The desired starting date for this position is October 21, 1992 or
shortly after. Applicants are asked to submit a current resume, a
technical description of background, skills, and experience, as well
as the names and addresses of three references, by October 5, 1992,
to
