This is nothing new really, the jobs listing is 5 pages long for our Burlington Ma. office alone. What is different, is that the group I work in is hiring. That would be the MREC (Modular Recognizer) Group, which does the development on the core speech recognition engine for a multitude of product lines, including Dragon Naturally Speaking, Mobile Solutions, and Medical Transcription Services to name just three. Yes I know the ‘demos’ suck, you can search youtube and find better examples of the products.

The Core MREC team is has always been a small core group of less than 10 engineers working with research and the product groups. Speech experience is not a requirement (and is actually the exception) for our group. We work with research to develop new features and productize new algorithms. The work is primarily C++ on windows and linux. The code base is the cleanest one I have ever worked on (and I have worked on over three dozen in a number of fields). The code is not old either, as we are continually rewriting parts of the engine, removing obsolete features, and adding in new ones; that is where the ‘M’ in MREC comes into play. Python experience is a big plus. The primary research framework is all python and the core engine is instrumented in python.

If this sounds interesting to you, send in your resume, either via the official nuance form, or by e-mailing me (doug at this site). You can also ask questions in comments to this post.
