Summary: 

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced and enthusiastic Software Engineer to design and develop cutting-edge intelligent systems applied to areas such as intelligent tutoring, serious games, crowdsourcing, skill modeling and assessment, and advanced visualization. You will design and implement software for exciting research in algorithm design, unique applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI), and training technologies. Applications may include intelligent tutors for game-based training, collaborative analysis, and wargaming.

You will lead small project-oriented groups following Agile development paradigms. In service of these responsibilities, you will need to incorporate best-of-breed software development practices, select and implement advanced technology solutions, and design and implement high quality software to address project requirements.

You should be informed of current software development practices, and be prepared to contribute immediately to ongoing development activities. This should include a working knowledge in several key areas, including modeling and simulation environments, AI algorithms and applications, user interfaces and interactions, web-based applications, and comfort with modern programming languages.

Code and writing samples may be requested.
