Current Job Postings

Software Engineer – Intelligent Systems Specialist

“The groundbreaking difference between DMI and other knowledge capture solutions is DMI’s ability to capture knowledge graphically and visually. Subject matter experts using DMI’s tools and methods do not have to write computer code to create detailed models, simulations and programs. This innovative approach ensures that users understand —and are involved in — the entire knowledge capture process. DMI is committed to making the transfer of knowledge easily accessible to non-technical experts”. - eBizITPA

We currently have a full time position for a software engineer with interests in artificial intelligence and intelligent systems. Responsibilities will include:

working as part of an experienced team of software developers, knowledge engineers and subject matter experts to develop and deliver knowledge systems to government and commercial customers,
communicating with customers and experts in a range of disciplines, and
learning new domain specific systems.

A few of our current projects include design and deployment of:

intelligent behaviors for controlling entities within Navy modeling and simulation environments,
systems for the capture of intelligence for virtual characters within immersive games,
intelligence for aiding in pharmaceutical lead development, and
oversight systems for lean manufacturing.

From its founding in 1999, Discovery Machine has leveraged government R&D funding vehicles to develop its portfolio of products and service offerings. Software development was funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and the Office of Naval Research (ONR). DMI released version 5.2 of DM Modeler in January, 2009 and plans on releasing version 5.3 in September. The Company has over 20 current and previous customers. DMI has received two awards from DARPA: DARPA Special Commendation and DARPA SBIR Success Story. These engagements have established success stories and case studies that validate DMI’s vision.

Discovery Machine has created a patented knowledge capture technology and methodology that quickly acquires strategic knowledge from key experts within an organization without significant disruption to their current work. The captured knowledge can be used to train apprentices and to automate the best practices of experts, and because the knowledge is captured visually by the experts, it is dynamic and adaptable to changing circumstances. Once captured, it can be embedded in applications and integrated with existing databases, ERP/MRP and other systems.

We are looking for an energetic, highly-motivated person who is a self-starter, team-oriented, and committed to writing high quality software. Applicants should appreciate the diverse responsibilities involved in working for a small company. Candidates will apply software engineering methodologies to analyze, design, implement, test, and document custom applications. Candidates will also be trained in the Discovery Machine Methodology using the Discovery Machine Modeler software to capture knowledge from experts.
