  • Operate across the entire software development life cycle: requirements management, design, implementation, test, release, and maintenance
  • Work on an Agile development team within a larger Scaled Agile Framework organization, participating in short term (sprint), medium term (program increment) and long term (product roadmap) planning
  • Mentor less experienced personnel, and encourage knowledge sharing and learning among the development community

 

Minimum Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or equivalent knowledge in the application of software engineering principles, theories, concepts, and techniques

  • Experience in requirements decomposition and test traceability
  • Experience in using open source tools like Git and Jenkins
  • Knowledge of unit testing using tools like CppUnit, unittest, etc.
  • Experience with continuous integration environments, automated test, and acceptance testing
  • Experience working in an Agile development setting and Agile project tools
  • Experience working with industrial protocols, especially Common Industrial Protocol (CIP)
  • Experience developing software and test to safety and security standards such as IEC 61508 or IEC 62443
