FULL DESCRIPTION
Summary
Develop and maintain embedded software for prototype and production systems, support customer integration, and work within a team in an agile manner.
Key Responsibilities/Duties
- Develop and maintain embedded SW for prototype and production systems conforming to OEM and international standards.
- Develop and maintain library blocks enabling us to re-use our IP across multiple products.
- Support customer integration - on-site support in parametrisation and calibration as well as troubleshooting and correction of existing code.
- Verification, validation and testing of developed software solutions for assigned projects.
- Work within a team in an agile manner allowing for flexibility and self-management to complete tasks.
- Ensure processes are correctly followed whilst also working with the team to utilise and improve any area in the development or testing process which can be improved.
Core Requirements/Qualifications/Skills
- Formal Software development within Aerospace, Automotive, Medical or similar embedded software development environment.
