Mozilla (Mountain View, CA (Remote Possible), United States)

Posted 05-Aug-2010

Job Description Software Tools Developer - Systems/Automation

The Mozilla test automation infrastructure runs over a hundred thousand tests every day, testing everything from memory leaks to graphical layout to platform level functionality. We are expanding that infrastructure to include the latest in static-analysis tooling and mobile operating systems while increasing robustness and making it more flexible.

As part of the Automation & Infrastructure team, you will work on the newest automation and infrastructure projects to help bring up new platforms for cloning into massively parallel automation systems. As part of this, you will diagnose networking, battery, processor, power, display etc issues that prevent systems under test from being robust clients for test automation. Once the device parameters have been well understood and a system has been found to keep the device operating robustly, you will turn the VM/device over to the build team for rapid cloning and insertion into the automation matrix.

When you're not working on a new platform, you'll be helping to design new automation frameworks and tools as well as writing code to help integrate those new frameworks into existing systems.

Columbia University Earth Institute Millennium Villages Project (New York, NY, USA)

Posted 10-Jun-2010

Job Description The role of the 'Micro-Utility Project Software Developer' is to support the design and implementation of the back-end monitoring and billing software for community-level micro-utility programs for the Millennium Villages Project. Reporting directly to the project's Infrastructure Program staff at the Earth Institute in New York, the Software Developer will be based out of Columbia University's New York City campus. (There may also be some potential for field work in various African countries to provide direct support for the project roll-out during later stages of deployment.)

The Micro-Utility project involves the development of a unique electricity power metering system targeted for use among the rural poor in Africa to help provide electricity access through a network of micro-grids. These micro-grids will be powered by small solar PV systems, serving 20-40 consumers (households). Instead of traditional, expensive end-of-the-wire power meters, special aggregating power meters are being developed to measure each consumer's power use at the power generation system (beginning-of-the-wire). This single aggregated meter (plus power generation system) will act as a "smart node" communicating over the mobile phone network to a "remote node" which will handle prepayment services, power generation system maintenance dispatch, and more. The meter will be connected to each consumer via physical wires, the meter will transmit/receive information to/from the remote node via the mobile phone network, and consumers can add more credit to their accounts via the mobile phone network.

The Modi Research group is looking to hire a developer with Python programming experience to create the back-end software for this "remote node" as well as a basic front-end web app. Some middle-ware development will also be required for enabling an off-the-shelf power meter to communicate to the "remote node" via a GSM modem. Project specification creation will be a part of the job, requiring good communication skills. The software developer will be a part of a dynamic team of collaborators spanning multiple institutions and industry contributors, and may interact regularly with the hardware engineers developing the "smart node" power meters and creating the API that the software developer will then use in creating the "remote node".

This job will result in the creation of an actual software product that will be deployed to help provide electricity access to the rural poor in Africa.

Duties and Responsibilities: The Software Developer is responsible for:
