Two programmer positions are available in the Embedded Systems "ES"
Research Unit at Bruno Kessler Foundation, Center for Information
Technology.

==================================================
Workplace
==================================================

The Embedded System Research Unit (ES Unit) of the Information and
Communication Technology Center of the Bruno Kessler Foundation,
Trento, Italy consists of about 25 persons, including researchers,
post-Doc, PhD students, and programmers. The Unit carries out
research, tool development and technology transfer in the fields of
design and verification of embedded systems.

Current research directions include:
. Satisfiability Modulo Theory, and its application to the
  verification of hardware, embedded critical software, and hybrid
  systems (Verilog, SystemC, C/C++, StateFlow/Simulink);
. Model Based Planning and Scheduling of aerospace domains using model
  checking and satisfiability modulo theory techniques;
. Formal Requirements Analysis based on techniques for temporal logics
  (consistency checking, vacuity detection, input determinism,
  cause-effect analysis, realizability and synthesis);
. Model-based engineering and formal verification of aerospace systems
  using model checking techniques, on-board reasoning systems for
  autonomous vehicles using planning techniques
. Formal Safety Analysis, based on the integration of traditional
  techniques (e.g. Fault-tree analysis, FMEA) with symbolic
  verification techniques.

More information about the ES Unit is available at http://es.fbk.eu/.
