Does the challenge of determining the correctness of an operating
system that is distributed over hundreds of processors appeal to you?
Do you have an appreciation of the economics of software testing?  Do
you have the confidence to play the lead technical role in a group of
young and very bright test engineers.  Do you want a new job?  If so,
read on.

Myrias is in the business of producing easy to use parallel computer
systems with supercomputer performance.  We have built, and routinely
use, a prototype 512 processor system.  We are now finishing the
production engineering of the system which we will soon be taking to
market.  Our answer to the parallel computing problem is not just a
box of silicon, but rather a complete system with sophisticated
operating software that allows mere mortals, not just operating
systems gurus, to program it.

On the other hand, some number of Operating Systems gurus were
required to make the thing work.  And a somewhat smaller group
of Testing Gurus have the job of finding the defects.

Our Software Test Group has an immediate opening for a Senior
Software Test Engineer to serve as a Technical Leader.  Primary
duties include ongoing review of all group activities (which
range for hardware acceptance tests to compiler validation)
and leading the development of Operating Systems tests.

Minimum requirements include a BS in Computing Science and a good
understanding of compilers and operating systems.  Most important is
a minimum of 5 years of experience in the development and testing of
large and complex systems.  Since the role requires technical
leadership, the ability to lead is a must.  An advanced degree is
very desirable, as is a knowledge of formal software testing.
