My apologies to those of you that did not receive this job posting correctly thefirst time that it was sent - we have a bug in our software which will be fixed shortly: The Computer and Networking Technology department, D34, at the MITRE Corporation, Bedford, MA has an opening in a two-person project at Bedford for someone to analyze the requirements for a protocol to provide real-time equipment and process control over both a Local Area Network (LAN) and a concatenation of networks involving local and global networks. This individual should be familiar with modern packet switched networks and the hierarchy of protocols that support them. Familiarity with the ARPANET and/or the DoD familyof network protocols (e.g., TCP,IP,FTP,TELENET, etc.) is essential, as well as an understanding of current LAN technology. Experience with related real-time network technologies (e.g., packet voice) would be desirable. This position will require an ability to work with the customer in defining the protocol requirements, developing a network model, designing a suitable protocol sepcification, analyzing its performance, and verifying its ability to meet performance requirements in a DoD internetwork environment. Future work could include actual test-bed implementation of the proposed protocol and the development of application level protocols suitable for the customers' field site operations. Candidates should have a BS degree, a minimum of three years experience in communications and networking, clear technical writing and oral presentation skills, and possess, at least, a SECRET clearance. Current TS/SCI access would be very helpful. For more information, contact Brian P. Schanning, MITRE, (617) 271-3728.
