The Work: What type of work will you be doing? What assignments, requirements, or skills will you be performing on a regular basis? Technical Development
Our team does embedded C development. As a member of the team, you will get more experience using nuances of the language, learn how to carve a part of the code without impacting other pieces unintentionally.
You will get familiar with troubleshooting bugs, performing trials on HW, and understanding how interaction with others can impact your work.
Design and Communication
As part of your project, you will create a technical requirement document describing what you plan to implement and how you plan to do it. What memory and communication resources you would require will be reviewed on whether these can be accommodated within our system.
You will create an automated test plan and write code to verify your code continues to work correctly even if other code pieces around it change, so when you go back to school, things don’t get lost.
Team Collaboration
In addition to your project lead, you will be working with our dev tools team to make sure nothing breaks, you will work with other team members as needed, when your code touches their area of expertise, and you will work with the SQA and test automation teams on good practices for verification of the work.
