How do we tell new technologies what to do for our maximum benefit? That’s the question that software engineers answer all of the time. Software engineers make programs that deliver our human will to the hardware. Expertly written, user-friendly, and secure software changes lives, improves efficiency, and adds precision to our daily tasks. In our case, it protects the lives of our troops and others in harm’s way on America’s behalf. So, how would a software engineer decide to be part of an aerospace and defense engineering company rather than a consumer-driven “remember to brush your teeth and floss” app developer?
Every Project is About Protecting Soldiers
The end goal of our work supports the warfighter. We know each and every warfighter we support is someone’s son, daughter, husband, wife, mother, father, or sibling, and we want to do our best to get them home as quickly and as safely as possible. Our software solutions include tactical, training, testing, cyber security, and virtual reality environments for our DoD and commercial customers. Our experience covers all phases of the Software Development Life Cycle, using the latest tools, models, and analysis techniques to produce required documentation and artifacts.
Our software engineers thrive on the black-or-white, safe-or-compromised outcome of their projects. They enjoy being part of tangible outcomes while having the privilege of advancing the newest classified defense technologies. Our software engineers love to create robust and safe solutions that will provide direct value and positive impact to the warfighter. The fact that they get to create such solutions for a wide variety of customers including the Army, Missile Defense Agency, Navy, and Air Force keeps it challenging and rewarding.
Leadership and Communication
We have a culture of ownership and engagement as regarding complex projects. The software engineers speak up for their projects and share in the pride of a job well done. A large part of their success is how well they communicate with customers and suppliers as needed to ensure the proper execution of the programs. Their ability to directly impact requirements, designs, and solutions creates excitement and motivation to continue to do what is best for the customer.
Successful software engineers come from a variety of areas. They can have a computer science, software engineering, computer engineering, or an electrical engineering background. In fact, some of the best software engineers are electrical engineers by trade. The ability to communicate at all levels of customers and development teams is also a key attribute to providing successful and maintainable solutions.
Flexibility and Teamwork
In your career path at INTUITIVE, you could work on many different types of projects and programs. We hire engineers to do technical work, but they have the opportunity to take on new roles and responsibilities, and inevitably, you will learn and grow with a wide range of other professionals. Further education, certification, and training opportunities are consistently offered to enhance a software engineer’s career.
