[agents] Research openings at Narus, Inc.

[Sabyasachi Saha]

Narus, Inc. is looking for scientists holding a PhD in Electrical
Engineering, Computer Engineering or equivalent field to fill six Analyst
positions in its CTO Organization in Sunnyvale, CA to
conduct groundbreaking research on big data analytics on network traffic.

About Narus:

Narus, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Boeing Company, supports
cyber situational awareness and risk management by enabling network
administrators as well as business analysts to discover facts they were
unaware of about their network and its usage. The multi-award winning
NarusInsight platform lays the foundation for this unique value proposition
enabling, like no other tool does, to tap into a very valuable source of
information: extremely large volumes of data with plenty of detail
collected from a wide variety of sources ranging from network probes that
operate at multi-Gbps data rates, to devices, web applications, social
media, and web crawling. Other key building blocks of Narus’ offer are
advanced cyber analytics packages applied to data while still in-motion
(real-time data processing framework) and/or at-rest, namely stored
in massive multi-terabyte volumes (big-data batch processing
framework). Information sharing between the two processing frameworks
enables finding proverbial "needle-in-the-haystack" events, automatic
creation of policies and alerts around them, and in-depth forensics to
better understand the unknown players associated to such events. Research
and development on advanced analytics at Narus leverages a
longlasting collaboration with most prestigious universities worldwide and
various highly advanced Boeing Research and Technologies (BR&T) labs. This
has resulted in an unmatched arsenal of libraries made available to
network administrators and business analysts to build and run analytics,
based on a plethora of tools and techniques, including data mining
techniques, statistical analysis, fast clustering, data visualization,
natural language processing, text analytics, artificial intelligence, as
well as SQL queries.

About the CTO Organization:

The CTO Organization at Narus, Inc. delivers innovation at the forefront
of network and big data analytics. The continuous innovation effort of the
CTO Organization is guaranteeing that Narus always has the best-of-breed
technology with unmatched performance and most advanced features. The CTO
Organization is one of the very few institutions that have managed to
combine advanced academic research with the commercial interests of the
industry, as demonstrated by the number and
high profile academic and scientific papers, its ample patent portfolio,
and the Narus product features and whole products that have originated in
the CTO Organization. As a consequence of its proven ability to produce
innovative and valuable results, the CTO Organization at Narus, Inc., has
been steadily growing from 3 to 30+ members over the last two years and is
constantly looking for bright minds and additional talent.

How we make it possible:

The CTO Organization at Narus, Inc. evolves seminal ideas into
successful commercial products through a proven three-phase.

1. Initial exploration (research) – leveraging on both its team of
experienced analysts and collaborations with research groups at American
and foreign Universities in the context of the Narus Fellows Research
Program, novel ideas are studied to get a better understanding of their
potential impact and realization complexity. After an initial assessment of
their implications and related issues, Professors recognized within
the scientific and academic community to have achieved significant results
in
corresponding areas are engaged through research contracts to join forces
in tackling a set of well defined problems. The cooperation involves remote
work in tight coordination and periods spent by professors and brilliant
PhD students at Narus’ headquarters.

2. Feasibility study (prototype) – starting from initial implementations
of algorithms realized in the first phase of the process, analysts join
forces with a team of skilled engineers to implement prototype with the aim
of demonstrating the feasibility of the idea. Once available, the prototype
is used to demonstrate the idea to perspective customers in order to assess
its commercial potential and decide whether the next phase should be
undertaken.

3. Productization (development) – the prototype is then further enriched
with features left out in the prototype and the code is stabilized and
perfected to reach product grade. As apparent from the above, being an
analyst in the CTO Organization at Narus represents a unique opportunity
for enthusiasts of scientific research that crave to produce impactful
innovation. Analysts in the CTO Organization are in the unique position to
be exposed to complex and relevant problems, be given access to valuable
resources and data whose access is most often restricted, and be given the
opportunity of seeing ones ideas and research work deployed in production
environments, besides published at top ranking conferences and journals.

Skills and qualifications

We are looking for dynamic, self-motivated enthusiasts of scientific
innovation with


   - A strong background in computer network protocols and technologies
   - Understanding of hardware and software systems and architectures
   - Good coding skills (Java preferred, but advanced skills in any
   language are considered valuable)
   - Academic experience in at least one of the following area
   - Big data analytics
   - Artificial intelligence and self-learning systems and techniques
   - Network and system security
   - Information processing
   - Formal methods

Experience in the following, although not a strict requirement, is highly
valued


   - Mobile apps: design, development, and development tools, libraries
   and frameworks
   - Web services and applications: development and architectures.
   - Scalable database systems
   - Parallel processing and Map-Reduce, preferably hadoop.

Candidates are expected to hold a PhD in one of the following fields (or
related ones): Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical
Engineering, Telecommunications Engineering.
