You will INNOVATE by:

  • Defining, enforcing, and adhering to software development standards, including modeling and coding practices, documentation, and testing methodologies
  • Providing support for production-related firmware issues and electronics purchasing concerns
  • Demonstrating working knowledge of schematic-level electrical design and hardware interactions
  • Implementing CAN communication protocols efficiently, aligning with JWS product requirements
  • Driving the adoption and automation of Model-Based Software Development (MBSD) using MathWorks tools

    You will PERFORM by:

    • Developing end-of-line testing mechanisms and software to support SMT and manufacturing processes
    • Creating C++ or Python-based PC applications and automation scripts

    We offer competitive wages and the following great benefits:

    • Health, Dental, and Vision insurance
    • Short term & Long-term disability insurance
