Work Description
Software Engineers support the complete lifecycle of software intensive distributed computing signal processing systems to include design, development, integration, validation and verification, installation, and maintenance in accordance with ISA engineering processes. Engineers work in a collaborative multi-disciplined team environment including software, systems, and signal processing engineers. This entails producing and capturing various design, implementation and test artifacts; participating in peer reviews of such artifacts; supporting the integration of these artifacts into the system(s) under construction; supporting the installation of these systems at ISA factories as well as customer facilities; responding to change requests and defect reports from installed systems. Software Engineers will work on well-defined tasks and some open-ended tasks, showing the ability to work independently on some tasks while requiring supervision/mentoring.
