BELL COMMUNICATIONS RESEARCH INC. Local Access Network Interface Research My group in the Applied Research Area is studying interfaces to wideband local switching systems. The following positions are available to qualified individuals: - Member of Technical Staff Qualifications - I would be interested in talking further with someone who has a PhD in CSc (preferred) or EE and has done previous research in computer communication networks and is interested in applying that knowledge to networks based on optical fiber; specifically, someone who has researched network topologies (i.e., point-to-point, ring, star, bus, etc.) and protocols, and/or their implementation. If you've constructed a network from the ground up, then so much the better. It is necessary that you be highly skilled in communicating your ideas to others. Responsibilities - The job is to propose and study access topologies and protocols for wideband local switching systems; primarily through the use of modeling and theoretical analysis. This work will then be used to direct the construction of prototype implementations that rely on distributed software and VLSI techniques. - Member of Technical Staff Qualifications - I'd like to hire someone who has a PhD in EE (preferred) or CSc and has a research interest in digital system design. I'm interested in someone who has done substantial work in techniques for implementing very high- speed digital systems - for example, systolic arrays of VLSI devices. Familiarity with both synchronous and asynchronous systems as well as available technologies is essential. If you've experience in high-speed serial communication, that's an advantage. It is necessary that you be highly skilled in communicating your ideas to others. Responsibilities - The job is to propose and study digital machines for very high-speed serial communications using a combination approach of modeling and prototype implementation. This work will result in both prototype systems and devices required for an interface to a wideband local switching system. - Senior Staff Technologist Qualifications - If you have at least an Associate Degree in Electronics or Electronics Technology and have had at least 5 years experience in an R&D environment, then we should talk further. Knowledge of microprocessors, hardware and firmware, test and measurement equipment, and electronic components and devices is required; knowledge of fiber optic components would be an additional benefit. You should be able to perform circuit board layout as well as front panel and backplane design - including power distribution. Responsibilities - The primary job is to support our hardware prototyping effort by building and testing circuits, designing and constructing system hardware such as backplanes and front panels, and maintaining the group's laboratory. Additional responsibilities are possible based on experience. If your qualified and interested in one of the above positions, drop me a line or give me a call and we'll talk further. We're extremely competitive in terms of salaries and benefits and, of course, we're an equal opportunity employer.
