Design, develop, implement, test, and document embedded or distributed software applications, tools, systems and services. Translate functional requirements into robust, efficient, supportable solutions that work well within the overall system architecture.

Evaluate and make decisions around the use of new or existing software
products and tools. Mentor junior development engineers.A day in the life
You solve difficult problems, applying appropriate technologies and best practices.You are proficient in a broad range of design approaches and know when it is appropriate to use them (and when it is not). Your solutions are pragmatic.
You consider the legacy of the code you produce and write code that an SDE unfamiliar with the system can understand.
You limit the use of short-term workarounds. You do things with the proper level of complexity the first time (or at least minimize incidental complexity).
You create flexible software without over-engineering. You make appropriate trade-offs, re-use where possible, and are judicious about introducing dependencies.Diverse Experiences
