About the role
Responsibilities:
- Elevated Documentation and PCL: Instead of just "keeping track records" (like the SE role), the SSE is explicitly expected to author comprehensive specs, define the unit test strategies, and drive the PCL/impact analysis process.
- Advanced Design Patterns: Woven into the Overview, Core Development, and Technical Requirements to ensure they can lead architectural discussions on patterns during the interview.
- Structured Mentorship: Explicitly tied mentorship to reviewing code, improving the team's engineering practices, and teaching design patterns/documentation standards
Requirements:
- Experience: 5+ years of professional experience building software for the Windows desktop environment, with a proven track record of mentoring junior or mid-level engineers.
- Core Languages and Frameworks: Advanced skills in C++ programming, object-oriented design, and Win32 / MFC libraries.
- Design Patterns: Strong architectural command of software design patterns (creational, structural, and behavioral) and the ability to articulate when and how to apply them.
- Hardware Interfacing: Practical experience writing software that controls physical hardware, manages motor movements, or reads inputs from external industrial equipment.
- Documentation and Testing: Proven ability to create comprehensive system specifications, architectural layout documents, developer-level unit test cases, and impact analysis checklists (PCL).
- Education: Bachelor's degree in computer science, electronic/automation engineering, or a related technical field.
