Test Developers at Ordinate

By way of the Language Testing List...


http://www.ordinate.com/content/about/testdev.shtml

Ordinate Corporation is seeking bright, self-motivated candidates to develop
language performance assessments. Candidates should have a graduate degree in
linguistics, computational linguistics, or experimental psychology (an
emphasis on Phonetics/Phonology or speech production/perception is a plus),
and at least two years of experience working in industry. Ideal candidates
will be able to manage projects independently – especially the design,
execution, and description of human experimental investigations. The position
requires excellent interpersonal skills and written communication skills.
Fluency in more than one language is preferred. Exposure to educational
assessment, test development, and/or speech recognition technology is also a
plus.

Ordinate Corporation develops spoken language tests that are automatically
administered and scored using speech recognition technology. The test
development group is responsible for designing reliable and valid language
tests based on theories in linguistics and psychology, and informed by an
understanding of automatic speech recognition. Duties include writing test
specifications, creating test items, designing validation experiments,
recruiting participants, analyzing data, writing technical reports, managing
consultants, presenting research results, and working closely with other
groups in the company.

Please email resume and cover letter to jobs (at ordinate.com) when responding
to posting, noting the name of the position.
