The Microelectronics Center of North Carolina (MCNC) has an immediate
opening for a SYSTEMS PROGRAMMER to design, document, code, test, and
maintain system software, with particular emphasis on high-quality data
communications. Applicants must have experience in both computer
communications and software engineering, and must know the C language
and UNIX system internals (preferably 4 BSD). Formal training with a
master's degree in computer science is highly desirable.
MCNC is a non-profit corporation (located in Research Triangle Park)
whose primary goal is to develop major educational and research
programs in microelectronics. The following are participating
institutions of MCNC.
Duke University (Durham)
North Carolina A.&T. State University (Greensboro)
North Carolina State University (Raleigh)
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
University of North Carolina at Charlotte
Research Triangle Institute (Research Triangle Park)
MCNC operates two 5-MB VAX-11/780 computers with 1.5 GB of disk
storage, and a 2-MB VAX-11/750. Plans are to acquire more processing
power after our summer 1983 move to a specially designed building. An
Ethernet is used for local communication. MCNC communicates with an
11/750 at each participating institution over a 9.6-Kbps leased line
with statistical multiplexors, and is testing the first of six 56-Kbps
lines. By 1985 each 56-Kbps line will be replaced by a T1 channel (1.5
Mbps) carried over a microwave network. The principal applications are
program development, electronic mail, document preparation, and VLSI
system design using high-performance color graphics stations.
To inquire or to apply, please reply to James Ellis, Manager of
Computer Systems, by electronic mail (mcnc!jte or jte.unc@udel-relay),
by telephone (919-541-7460), or by U.S. mail (P.O. Box 12889, RTP, NC
27709). Ellis will attend the UNICOM Conference in San Diego.
MCNC is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
