Software Tool Engineer

Job Description: Tool Engineer

Software Engineers are needed to help define and implement automated software engineering tools based on DMS, a programming environment supporting a new software development paradigm. The nature of the tools depend on SD future plans and current customer needs, but a typical examples of such tools are the CloneDR, which finds and removes duplicate code from large software systems, and or legacy language migration tools. Depending on tool needs, skills and interests, s/he may:

• Define and implement special purpose application languages;
• Design and implement specific analysis methods for programming languages or specifications;
• Design and implement transformational methods for languages;
• Design and implement tools to test other software from specifications;

Candidates must have a Masters in Computer Science or commensurate experience. A strong grasp of programming languages and compilers is essential. Experience with parallel programming, optimizing compilers, transformation engines or various formal specification techniques such as algebraic or denotational semantics are a definite plus. Experience in R&D projects producing large, robust systems is a plus. Applicants must be independent thinkers and strongly self-motivated, but must work in a team to achieve the final vision. Team members are individually responsible for large sections of the product.

In addition to competitive salaries commensurate with experience, employees will be offered a comprehensive benefits package. Semantic Designs is located in beautiful Austin, Texas.
