The software modeling and analysis group, headed by Prof. Chechik (http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~chechik), is looking for a research software engineer to help out with a project on software modeling with applications to automotive systems. The group conducts research in rigorous software engineering, verification, requirements engineering, and feature-based modeling. The objective of the position is to assist us in developing the Model Management Tool Framework (MMTF) - an Eclipse-based infrastructure for implementing research in modeling. MMTF has been around since 2007 but is ready for some major consolidation and improvement, to make it amenable to processing real-life models. The candidate will "own" MMTF and be responsible for all aspects of its development, including incorporating "prototype-quality" implementations of new research done by existing graduate students. The ideal candidate would have completed a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (although we will consider OUTSTANDING students who have completed two years in a CS program for a PEY) and will have the following skills:

• Java programming expertise (beyond just what is obtained from doing course work assignments)
• (asset) Experience with Eclipse and Eclipse modeling framework technologies (EMF, GMF, GEF, etc.)
• (asset) Experience with UML
• (asset) Experience with source control and bug tracking systems
• Ability to work independently on a task
• Strong communication skills
• Strong theoretical, abstract and mathematical skills
• Knowledge/practice of modeling within Software Engineering
• (asset) Knowledge of graph theory

The candidate will:

• Interact with graduate students, post docs and faculty to
  • gather new MMTF requirements
  • review MMTF design alternatives
  • assist with MMTF usage and provide training
• Implement design changes and extensions
• Test and document implementations
• Create content for and maintain the MMTF web site

The candidate may also be involved in preparation of scientific publications related to MMTF.

This is a full-time position for at least a year. Interested candidates should send their resume, their academic transcript and a brief statement of why they are interested in this project and their availability to mmtf-project@cs.toronto.edu. We will be accepting applications and conducting interviews until the position is filled.
