Project Summary:

T-Rex (www.trexcorporation.com) has an immediate and exciting opportunity to build, support and operate a large document imaging and data capture system for the 2010 Decennial Response Integration System (DRIS) for the U.S. Census Bureau. The U.S. Census Bureau is the primary source of basic statistics about the population and economy of the nation. This system will capture response data via paper, telephone agent and electronic census forms for the entire U.S. population, currently estimated at over 300 million.

To help accomplish the 2010 Census mission, T-Rex will help design, build, test, deploy, implement, operate, maintain, and secure a large scale data capture system that will record all response data. This information is used by the Census Bureau to report state level population counts and the calculations for reapportioning the United States House of Representatives to the President. As a member of the DRIS team, you will play a critical role in the success of the Census Bureau**s mission to accurately count the population and have the opportunity to participate in a collaborative large-project environment.
