Digital Sight and Sound Division (DSS)

Digital Sight and Sound Division Objective:

Digital Sight and Sound designs and markets desktop workstations that sell for $5,000 to $15,000. More than half the units sold by Silicon Graphics come from this division. We strive to create innovative products based on our hardware, software, VLSI, and mechanical designs. Our products integrate consumer electronics technology with RISC CPUs to create powerful multi-media systems that excite the senses and are easy to use.

Hot Areas:

Multi-Media Hardware and Software:

Video and Audio Compression (MPEG, JPEG), Video Conferencing
Digital Signal Processing, Worldwide Web

VLSI and Systems Design:

EEs with VLSI simulation (VHDL), Circuit Design (Spice, PLLs)
Board-level design, system-level simulation

UNIX Engineers:

Software engineers with assembly language expertise in RISC CPUs
UNIX Device drivers, PC/Macintosh emulation, low-level hardware/software interfaces

Applications tuning:

Port and tune multi-media applications and browsers onto the native RISC CPU and microcoded multi-media engine

Degrees Preferred:

BS/MS in CS, EE or Ph.D. in related discipline
