| − | = Sample Job description for the software engineer =
| |
| − | | |
| − | Image Computing Applications Engineer:
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Summary: The engineer will work closely with local user community to integrate NA-MIC Kit software into local research workflows. The engineer will work with the NA-MIC algorithm and software developers to develop implementation strategies to meet the needs of local users by adapting and/or extending existing code in the NA-MIC Kit. Examples of the engineering work required include writing code to integrate several filters into a pipeline, building user interfaces to algorithms, converting data file formats, and automating repetitive analysis tasks.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Duties:
| |
| − | ** Define and specify user requirements for new software.
| |
| − | ** Implement solutions in collaboration with other NA-MIC personnel.
| |
| − | ** Support use of new solutions by local users.
| |
| − | ** Disseminate solutions to broader community through adherence to NA-MIC software practices including publicly readable repositories, design material and documentation on public wiki, participation in email lists to support users and developers.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Qualifications:
| |
| − | ** BS Computer Science or equivalent. Knowledge of medical image processing a plus.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Other Requirements:
| |
| − | ** Willingness and ability to develop "production" quality code adhering to existing design standards.
| |
| − | ** Knowledge of C++ essential.
| |
| − | ** Cross-platform software development experience (Windows and Linux; Mac a plus).
| |
| − | ** Experience with NA-MIC Kit tools a plus (CMake, VTK, ITK, KWWidgets, 3D Slicer).
