Software Engineering - Software Engineer - P3

The Software Engineer 3 applies the principles of software engineering to design, develop, test, and maintain our OSI software products.  The Software Engineer has the primary responsibility to provide a successful implementation of the assigned software modules.  The Software Engineer will collaborate with a team of multidisciplinary engineers and stakeholders to ensure the successful delivery of our software products to our end users and customers. Our Engineers have a focus on collaboration, and assist their team with devising innovative technical solutions and removing roadblocks. As a group, the engineers work together to complete software development activities through the full software lifecycle. To do this the Software Engineer must demonstrate strong communication skills and interpersonal skills. The OSI Software Engineer exhibits professionalism, integrity, and ownership.
