• Provide deep-level support for production applications, using strong diagnostics and root cause analysis.
• Become the subject matter expert for these applications, applying usability and development best practices.
• Partner with business, design, and development team members, and with IT service providers, to deliver high-quality IT services and customer satisfaction.
• Develop and maintain database components that support part and CAD data processing and distribution.
• Use approved AI tools to accelerate coding, code review, unit test creation, troubleshooting, and documentation. Validate all AI-generated output before use.
• Apply AI-assisted techniques to understand, document, and modernize legacy Perl and shell code.
• Identify and pilot AI use cases that improve engineering productivity, such as part and CAD data validation, anomaly detection, log analysis, and support triage.
• Lead code walkthroughs and share secure, responsible AI-assisted development practices with the team.
• Create and execute work plans, adjusting as requirements change.

Qualifications

Required

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or equivalent experience.
