Are you looking for a place to work where your contribution is recognized and rewarded and your contribution is genuinely valued?

ASTi is the leading supplier of simulated radio communications products to military and commercial flight simulator customers around the world. From our beginning 20 years ago, ASTi has always strived to be a unique company in which each employee is treated as an individual. We have created a work environment without "big company" distractions like bureaucracy and politics.

We are now staffing a new product/project team to add an Automated Intelligent Response capability to our simulated radio product. The goal is to couple intelligent decision algorithms with advanced speech recognition to replace man in the loop role players for advanced simulation.

The product will be an exciting new capability leveraging ASTi's existing voice recognition and text to speech capabilities on top of our established network communications simulations in order to provide automated speech responses to live man-in-the loop voice transmissions. When this project is completed it will be a game-changing technology for the training and simulation market with numerous applications, such as meeting the FAA's new regulations requiring formalized and repeatable training for pilots interacting with air traffic control transmissions.

It is envisaged that a primary feature of this product will be a sophisticated toolset that allows a non-engineering customer to apply their specialist knowledge of the language protocols to create or add to a library of appropriate responses in a sophisticated decision tree. The end result must be a pseudo entity response that is sufficiently appropriate and sophisticated that the operator in unable to distinguish that the instructions are not originating from a human operator.

This new team will be semi-autonomous and expected to participate in setting business strategies as well as technical goals. They will be working with specialist representatives from our customer base, such as commercial pilots, who will bring the detailed knowledge of the operational language protocols to the applications.

With these objectives in mind we are looking for up to three people with the following skill mixes to supplement our existing in house technical staff:

• Automated Response Systems Experience
• Artificial Intelligence and/or Expert Systems
• Speech recognition and Text to Speech experience
• Entrepreneurial/technical project team leadership

ASTi offers a relaxed work environment, excellent compensation, and generous benefits including: 4 weeks vacation/5 weeks after 3 years, profit sharing, pension plan and comprehensive benefits.
