Proficient in C++ and C#, you will play a critical part in the design, development, integration, and verification of the software solutions that are key to the success of our products.

Responsibilities:

• Design and develop the system interface computer software that captures the performance data.
• Support setting to work of new software to perform target testing on Windows hardware
• Architect and implement robust, scalable, and maintainable multi-threaded applications.
• Lead and contribute to system integration, verification, and testing at both component and system levels.
