On Time Systems is a small company that specializes in solving large-scale search and optimization problems. We used to be a research lab at the University of Oregon, but we are now more focused on writing software than writing grant proposals. We're currently looking for software engineers to work on Green Driver (a smartphone app that uses real-time data from traffic signals to help drivers find the fastest route (http://imagreendriver.com)) and ACFP (Advanced Computer Flight Planning), the flight planning system used by the US Air Force for routing cargo planes and tankers worldwide.
Although our core IP is in optimization, bringing these solutions to market requires complex client-server applications with challenging network, user interface, and database components. We have code written in Python, Java, C, C++, Objective-C, and other languages. An ideal candidate will have a strong background in algorithms and will be comfortable writing both high-level and low-level code.
Benefits include: medical and disability insurance, 401Ks with matching, sabbaticals, massages, a game room (ping pong, billiards, DDR, etc.), relocation package, pick your own hardware, your own office with a window, tuition reimbursement (including flight school if you work on our flight planning software), exercise equipment and locker room, and his and hers company bikes.
The work environment is friendly, informal, and intellectual.
