Job: machine learning at Boeing

[Wei Zhang]

	**Outstanding Machine Learning Researcher needed**

The Boeing Company, the world's largest aerospace company, is actively
working research projects in advanced computing technologies including
projects involving NASA, FAA, Air Traffic Control, and Global
Positioning as well as airplane and manufacturing research.

The Research and Technology organization located in Bellevue,
Washington, near Seattle, has an open position for a machine learning
researcher.  We are the primary computing research organization for
Boeing and have contributed heavily to both short term technology
advances and to long range planning and development.
 
BACKGROUND REQUIRED: Machine Learning, Knowledge Discovery, Data
Mining, Statistics, Artificial Intelligence or related field.
 	    
RESEARCH AREAS: We are developing and applying techniques for data
mining and statistical analyses of diverse types of data, including:
safety incidents, flight data recorders, reliability, maintenance,
manufacturing, and quality assurance data.  These are not areas where
most large R&D data mining efforts are currently focused.  Research
areas include data models, data mining algorithms, statistics, and
visualization. Issues related to our projects also include pattern
recognition, multidimensional time series, and temporal databases. We
can achieve major practical impacts in the short-term both at Boeing
and in the airline industry, which may result in a safer and more
cost-effective air travel industry.
 
A Ph.D. in Computer Science or equivalent experience is highly
desirable for the position.  We strongly encourage diversity in
backgrounds including both academic and industrial
experiences. Knowledge of machine learning, statistics, and data
