WHY WORK WITH US
THE OPPORTUNITY:
Software Developer Co-op reporting to Agile Development Manager, working collaboratively with Software Development Architecture and Development teams to design and engineer solutions that deliver customer value and meet business requirements.
Key responsibilities include participating in software system design, identifying and mitigating development risks, providing real-time DevOps support through bug triage and troubleshooting, and developing code that meets TechInsights' coding standards while preserving design intent. The role involves presenting and defending designs to senior Engineers for review and refinement, facilitating knowledge transfer to and from development teams (particularly at sprint start), and maintaining peer-reviewed technical documentation. The co-op will occasionally develop proof-of-concepts to validate pivotal design concepts and de-risk technical approaches.
Focus areas include large-scale image processing and manipulation, circuit engineering workflows and EDA tools, Angular/React front-end GUI development, design for reuse, and website navigation.
Working under the supervision of senior Engineers, the co-op will learn to quantify technical risks, socialize critical design elements, and participate in engineering debates that shape development direction. This collaborative learning environment emphasizes design iteration, technical problem-solving, and acting as "technical glue" to support the platform's ongoing development.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
WHAT YOU’LL BRING
