We are looking for someone to help us develop a new product for spatial and
geometric computing (graphics,imaging,finite element analysis,3D (voxel)
medical imaging,molecular modeling,CSG operations,etc.).
  We have started up with enough seed capital to ensure a reasonable salary
for a reasonable time. We are currently talking with several
venture capital firms to secure additional funding.
  The product is a very high performance applications accelerator with multiple
bit-slice type integer and floating point processors, a VERY WIDE instruction
word, and a VERY LARGE multiple access memory.

  We need someone to take on responsibility for system level software tools - 
driver, programming/debugging environment, and a C compiler (with extensions).
Experience with software for bit-slice machines, graphics systems, etc. are
a big plus.
  What we offer is one heck of an exciting time. We are ordering SUN 3/160C
machines for development (our product will slide into a SUN backplane). We
can pay a decent salary and a piece of the company (stock options) and the
opportunity to do interesting and rewarding work. We've started 
a successful business before and have developed successful state-of-the-art-
products.
  If you're interested and qualified, please write,call, or email.
