Full-time, software, Reston VA, Metron Scientific Inc

[gblake]

CD robotics friends,

Metron (my employer) wants to fill all of its openings, but this one (below) is more urgent than the rest. So, I thought I would put up an announcement here for the generally clever bunch of folks who use Chief Delphi.

You need to have *already* graduated and be available now. As is the case with most job descriptions, you can be successful without being a 100% match against every single listed skill; but ... obviously more is better.

You can apply directly to the company website (www.metsci.com) (https://careers-metsci.icims.com/jobs/intro) (Job ID 2016-1033). You can PM me first if you have questions.

PS: There are other (less urgent) openings in Reston, and in other locations.
PPS: We invent, demonstrate, and deploy cool math and science stuff (www.metsci.com).
