Ok, so if you’re a software engineer looking for new challenges in 2006, here’s a great opportunity for you. My research team within the CSIRO ICT Centre (the Information Delivery team) is seeking to recruit a highly competent, motivated, and energetic software engineer to our Sydney laboratory.

You will contribute to software engineering, R&D and commercialisation activities within our small but highly productive team carrying out leading-edge research in the area of information engineering and the development of advanced search and delivery technology. This role will have a particular focus on mobile phone and PDA technology.

A degree in Software Engineering or a related discipline is essential; an honours degree or higher qualification would be an advantage, but not essential.

We need you to demonstrate excellent programming expertise in at least Java (preferably other languages too), familiarity with Web services, and preferably have exposure to mobile phone or PDA software development platforms. The development
projects underway need you to work on both research prototypes and on commercial products. Your willingness to provide technical support, an ability to write high quality documentation, and a capacity to talk to customers are important.

Finally, you should enjoy working in teams, be honest, trustworthy, and ethical, with an ability to contribute creative ideas to our projects.
