- Performance Analysis Opportunities with IBM LAN Systems in Austin
-
- -- Do you enjoy quantifying, analyzing, and improving software performance?
-
- -- Does your technical expertise include systems software for PC's,
- workstations, and Local Area Networks (LAN's).
-
- -- Are you a self-motivated individual with excellent communications skills,
- and a "team player"?
-
- If the answer to all three questions is "yes", please read on! An expanding
- mission has resulted in career opportunities at all degree and experience
- levels within the LAN Systems Performance Analysis (LSPA) area at the IBM
- Personal Software development lab in Austin, Texas.
-
- About IBM LAN Systems:
-
- IBM LAN Systems is a unit of the IBM Personal Systems Line of Business. It
- provides industrial strength, high performance solutions for information
- sharing and systems management across simple LAN's and heterogeneous groups
- of interconnected LAN's. The principal operating systems platforms are
- OS/2 (tm) and AIX (tm). Current products include Network Transport Services/2
- (tm), LAN Server 3.0 (tm), and several systems management and monitoring tools.
- Implementations of the Open Software Foundation's Distributed Computing
- Environment for both OS/2 and AIX will enter beta test in the first quarter
- of 1993.
-
- About Performance Analysis:
-
- The LSPA team works closely with development teams and other organizations
- to ensure that all IBM LAN Systems products have excellent performance
- characteristics. Our activities include design participation, benchmarking,
- profiling and tracing, providing support for external performance tests and
- trade shows, and resolving performance concerns of customers. The bulk of
- our work relies on measurement of actual systems, but simulation and analytic
- techniques are used as appropriate.
-
- Qualifications:
-
- Openings exist for BS, MS, and PhD graduates (at any experience level) who
- combine a strong background in systems software and networks with expertise
- in measurement-based performance analysis. Candidates should be "self-starters"
- who can work alone or in small teams; they should have excellent communications
- skills and adapt quickly to new assignments.
-
- Expertise in any of the following areas is a plus:
-
- -- computer systems benchmarking
- -- operating systems: OS/2, Unix, Mach; especially device drivers
- -- network protocols: TCP/IP, NetBIOS, SPX/IPX, AppleTalk, OSI, etc.
- -- PC and RISC architecture.
- -- Distributed Computing Environment (DCE)
- -- distributed systems management
- -- file and print servers
- -- multimedia
-
- Positions as permanent IBM employees and term IBM employees are available.
- In addition, inquiries form software services (programming and test) vendors
- with relevant capabilities are invited.
-
- The Work Environment:
-
- LSPA offers a professional and congenial work setting, with flex-time and
- an informal dress code. IBM salaries and benefits are among the best in
- the industry.
-
- The Austin development lab is located in new buildings that were designed
- expressly for software development. LSPA maintains a dedicated performance
- lab with several hundred PC's and workstations, configured into both token
- ring and ethernet LAN's. There is also the capability to connect lab systems
- to site and corporate networks as required.
-
- The Austin area offers a growing concentration of high-tech industry,
- including Sematech and MCC. The region is noted for its high quality of life,
- with a wide variety of cultural and recreational opportunities.
