Software Engineering Specialist-Dotnet

Summary

The main function of the Software Engineering Specialist is to Design and Develop Software solutions on the .Net platform by leading a team of software engineers.

Those who successfully lead others to meet our objectives are vital to our organization. Leadership at Trimble is much more than simply exercising assigned authority; we expect our leaders to embrace a mission-focused leadership style, by continually adapting to circumstances while not losing sight of the end goal; demonstrating strength of character, intellect, and the ability to convert ideas to reality.

In this capacity, the Software Engineering Specialist is responsible for the technical output for assigned modules, sub-projects, or projects. These may be work done by him/ her or team members. The Software Engineering Specialist leads the implementation technically, driving the high/low-level design, and ensuring that implementation complexity in design / code / testing phase is addressed by the team. The Software Engineering Specialist shall also serve as the interface with other teams working on other components of the product.

The Software Engineering Specialist shall make use of well-established design patterns and architectures that suit the integration and follow agile development processes. The Software Engineering Specialistis also responsible to perform unit testing of the code developed, performing system integration, bug fixing, developing user documentation, generating relevant reports, and reviewing similar work done by peers.

The Software Engineering Specialist interacts with the product managers in Trimble to develop functional specifications for assigned portions, resolve design and implementation challenges, and close issues reported on the product.
