Senior Staff Research Scientist VIII: Informational Research Programmer

  • Full-time

Company Description

Hexagon Lavish® is a scientific research and development start-up based in the United States. The company initially was focused in machine learning techniques but now has evolved into a small company that's devoted to utilizing "unorthodox" research methodologies in theoretical development and uncompromised use of mathematics and science.

PIR: Premier Information Retrieval will be a resultant product from the platform, IISS (Informational Interpretation Scientific Software). PIR will be designed as software for immediate detection, distinction, classification and analysis.

Desmond J. Watson, co-founder and chief executive officer of Hexagon Lavish®,  is putting together a small team of researchers, mathematicians, engineers and programmers for this startup.

Job Description

Are you the kind of individual who just won't take "No!" for an answer. 

If that's you, then I guess you have a home here.

Hexagon Lavish® is a scientific research and development start-up based in Georgia that has an open position for an experienced Informational Research Programmer with an engaging focus in applying their expertise in programming for the PIR: Premier Information Retrieval® project. 

The Informational Research Programmer will be the lead programmer for the PIR project and will provide support to other programmers for this research project. 

As the Informational Research Programmer, this individual will be a part of a small team (that will gradually grow since this research project is highly demanding of man-hours) that will generally adapt their focus to construct high-performing algorithms (and eventually high-performance computing) and will be tasked with the responsibilities of: devising or modifying procedures to address "complex" problems; create program designs; improve upon code; testing; debugging; documentation and maintenance. 

The Informational Research Programmer position requires a minimum of ten years of experience "experimenting" with some sort of esoteric area of signal processing, some programming language not many are familiar with and a familiarity with some kind of mathematical dependency thing. If you don't find yourself on the precipice of an extinction-level aneurysm when you're confronted with an issue that you're unfamiliar with then you need to apply today.
