Trainee Graduate Electrical Engineer Jobs in Iowa

What you will be doing

As a recent/upcoming graduate who studied software development, you will enhance your skills working on one of our development teams creating safety critical systems. These safety critical systems will primarily involve embedded software for the avionics and medical device industries. If you have ever flown on a commercial airliner or been in a hospital emergency room, there is a lot of our embedded software keeping you safe. This is your opportunity to get involved with all aspects of the full Software Development Life Cycle. Unlike most companies, we do not have permanent teams. We put together teams to do a specific project and when that project is done you will work on a new project that could be very different from the project you just completed. So if you like a lot of diversity and learning new skills, we are the company for you. Almost all of the work is done in our office and there is very little travel involved with these development efforts. Our company emphasizes a great work and personal life balance. Salary range for each of our offices is $76,000-86,500 depending on location.
