What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Graduate Computer Engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Graduate Computer Engineer, you need a solid background in computer science fundamentals, programming, and relevant engineering principles, usually demonstrated by a bachelor's degree in computer or software engineering. Familiarity with programming languages (such as Python, Java, or C++), version control systems like Git, and knowledge of operating systems or hardware design tools are commonly expected. Strong problem-solving abilities, teamwork, and effective communication are vital soft skills for success in collaborative and dynamic environments. These skills and qualities ensure you can contribute to complex engineering projects, adapt to evolving technologies, and work efficiently within multidisciplinary teams.

What types of projects can a Graduate Computer Engineer expect to work on during their first year?

As a Graduate Computer Engineer, you can expect to be involved in a mix of hands-on technical tasks and collaborative projects, such as software development, hardware testing, or system integration. Early responsibilities often include assisting with coding, debugging, documentation, and contributing to team meetings or design reviews. You may also get opportunities to work under the guidance of senior engineers, which helps build both your technical expertise and understanding of real-world engineering workflows. Exposure to different project phases and technologies is common, offering a strong foundation for future career growth.

What does a Graduate Computer Engineer do?

A Graduate Computer Engineer is an entry-level professional who applies computer engineering principles to design, develop, test, and maintain computer systems and hardware. Their work often involves collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to solve technical problems, writing and debugging code, and assisting with the implementation of new technologies. Graduate Computer Engineers may work on projects involving software development, embedded systems, networking, or hardware design while gaining practical experience and building their skills within the industry.

What is the difference between Graduate Computer Engineer vs Software Developer?

AspectGraduate Computer EngineerSoftware Developer
Required CredentialsDegree in Computer Engineering or related fieldDegree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field
Work EnvironmentEngineering teams, hardware and software integration projectsApplication development, coding, and software design
Employer & Industry UsageTech companies, hardware firms, R&D departmentsTech startups, software firms, IT departments
Common Search & ComparisonOften compared for entry-level roles in tech engineeringCommonly compared for software development roles

While both roles require a background in computer-related fields, Graduate Computer Engineers focus on integrating hardware and software systems, often working on engineering projects. Software Developers primarily concentrate on designing, coding, and testing software applications. The choice depends on your interest in hardware integration versus software programming, but both roles are essential in the tech industry and often overlap in entry-level positions.

Job description

At Baird, Hampton & Brown, our mission is building partners through creative, sustainable engineering solutions, and honest, long-term relationships.  With over 30 years in the business, we understand that a solid foundation is necessary in every aspect of what we do.  We support our team members in pursuing excellence in their fields and balancing their lives.  We serve our clients with integrity, communication, and involvement at every stage.  As a team member, you can trust BHB to champion our core values, which leads to healthy, mutually beneficial relationships as well as services of the highest caliber.
We are currently seeking a full-time, exempt Graduate Civil Engineer. As an entry level position, the Graduate Civil Engineer, will learn how to work on civil projects for municipal governments and private developments. Working closely with Professional Engineers, Engineers-in-Training, and Designers, you will first develop the technical processes to create civil drawings under the direction of a Project Manager.  During this time, you will also develop professional skills, learning the business and client side as well as the process to eventually manage the full scope of a civil engineering project.   
In this role you can expect to perform the following tasks.  This is not an exhaustive list:
  • Analyze and interpret survey reports, maps, drawings, blueprints, aerial photography, and other topographical or geologic data to plan projects.
  • Plan and design transportation or hydraulic systems and structures, following construction and government standards using design software.
  • Analyze and produce designs for stormwater, sewer, pipeline, parking, sidewalks, roadway, etc. using design software.
  • Prepare site grading and utility plans, coordinating with municipal parties.  Perform hydraulic calculations and prepare construction documents for permitting.
  • Compute load and grade requirements, water flow rates, or material stress factors to determine design specifications.
  • Communicate project status with the Project Manager, client, and other relevant parties, including preparing reports, data, and project activities.

We require: 
  • Degree in Civil Engineering from an ABET-accredited program
  • Engineer in Training certification or the ability to receive in one year
  • Excellent interpersonal & communication skills.  Connections are a critical part of how we work. 

It helps to have:
  • Any experience in designing for civil projects or performing calculations; land development, commercial, industrial, land development, retail, education, municipal, roadways, water resources, or utilities. 
  • Proficiency in AutoCAD Civil 3D and Microsoft Office.  Other relevent programs could include HEC-HMS, HEC-RAS, ArcGIS, or Bluebeam.
Physical Demands
This position is primarily sedentary with long periods of sitting, but occasional walking and lifting up to 25lbs may occur.  Occasionally bending, squatting, and reaching overhead may also occur.  Additionally, extensive computer usage is required daily.
Position Type and Schedule
This is a full-time, exempt position, with an expectation to work 40 hours per week. BHB offers flexible scheduling options, including five 8-hour days or four 9-hour days with a half day on Friday morning. While the start and end times of the workday can be adjusted, employees are expected to establish and maintain a consistent schedule which must encompass the core business hours of 9am – 4pm.   Although overtime is not required, it is requested at times to meet our clients’ needs.
Benefits
We believe that taking care of our employees and their families is vital to our success.  For several years, BHB has been awarded the titles of "Best Place for Working Parents" and Zweig’s "Best Firms to Work For."
BHB sponsors employee medical, dental, vision, short-term & long-term disability, and basic life insurance, as well as subsidizing a significant family portion. BHB also offers voluntary life and disability insurances, paid parental leave after 12 months of employment, a PTO bank immediately available, & 401(k) matching. 
We believe in lifelong learning: providing many internal & external training opportunities including formal & informal mentorship programs.  We sponsor multiple professional & industry memberships, licensure, and leadership opportunities.  More details regarding benefits will be provided during the interview process.
