JOB OPPORTUNITY!!!!!  



Unix System Manager wanted, position available right away!

Here is a chance for all you Unix hackers who would like to get paid
for playing.  Cognition, Inc. is looking for someone to be their system
manager.

We have a mix of vaxen running Ultrix(tm) and pc's and mac's all netted together.
While it would be nice to have someone who knows a lot about Ultrix or
Berkeley Unix(tm), we are willing to train someone who has had a lot
of experience using Unix (the current system managers pro tem have to
concentrate on their real task now).  

Responsibilities would include, but not be limited to (in fact, we would
encourage someone to hack):

	o  watching over backups.  we have a fairly well automated
		system, but it does need someone to hang tapes and
		make sure that it is running correctly.

	o  oversee allocation of hardware to various groups.  this
		involves keeping track of what equipment we have,
		where it is, and who needs it.

	o  system maintenance.  random things like maintenance of 
		accounts, hacking with scripts, etc.  this is where
		you will have a lot of leaway.

	o  playing with neat toys.  we have bitmap tubes and an
		interesting programming environment for those people
		who are interested in expanding their horizons.

	o  dealing with people.  this is a fairly important part of
		the job.  Cognition is a place where people's feelings
		are important (including yours).  diplomatic skills are
		a real plus.


Again, we are willing to train someone who has Unix experience but has
not managed systems before.  If you like to pick things up quickly, this
could be the place for you.

For reference, Cognition is creating a comprehensive environment for
doing conceptual Computer Aided Engineering.  We are a growing company
with a lot of neat projects going on and a real opportunity for someone
to have an impact.  If you interested and would like to learn more about
it, please call me:

					Cognition, Inc.
					50 Cambridge Street
					Burlington, MA  01803 

					(617) 273-1676

p.s. Cognition is accessible to public transit (it's on Routes 128 and 3).
