DUTIES A self motivated research officer is required to participate in research in software engineering in support of real-time robotics, work-cells, robot off-line programming and simulation, graphics, and the development and application of suitable work-stations for the above activity. Much of the work will utilize a message passing operating system running on a multi-M68K. Support tools and real-time applications are involved. QUALIFICATIONS Recent M.Sc in Computer Science with relevant systems courses and a strong background in C and software tools. Experience with graphics or real-time operating systems would be an asset. Canadian citizens and permanent residents of Canada will be given preference.
