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.\nJob Requirements\nDue to compliance with U.S. export control laws and regulations, candidate must be a U.S. Person, which is defined as, a U.S. citizen, a U.S. permanent resident, or have protected status in the U.S. under asylum or refugee status or have the ability to obtain an export authorization.\nBachelors or advanced degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering or Computer Systems Engineering or similar software development curriculum\nMust have an overall GPA of 3.0 or higher\nAt least one strong Object Oriented Language (C++, C#, Python, Java, etc.) and academic exposure to software development methodologies (Waterfall, Agile, etc.)\nEmbedded software experience is desired but not required\nPrior internship is highly desirable but not required\nHighly motivated and a self-starting attitude\nMust have already graduated or be graduating within the next 3 months\nWhy work with those of us at Performance Software? Why start your career with us?\nOur Mission\nYour success. How, you might ask? … By providing a company culture dedicated to a sensible work/life balance by hiring carefully selected team players with whom you will work; by encouraging each other to produce the best embedded software for safety critical (Avionics & Medical Instruments) systems in the country; by having “raving fans” (customers who come back to us regularly because we get it done right and on time).\nWe’re a medium-sized company that’s growing rapidly, but which maintains that small company feel. At Performance, you’re not just a name & face or locked onto a fixed team maintaining legacy systems; instead, you’ll be working on a wide variety of projects using the full gamut of advanced software development technologies.\nWe provide what great talent wants and deserves!\nBenefits you’ll enjoy\nOur team members receive competitive salaries plus a contribution, every paycheck, to an individual SEP-IRA equal to 12% of salary. And, our team members are provided health/dental insurance coverage + STD and LTD coverage, paid sick/illness time off, vacation days, holidays, and other benefits.\nAbout Performance\nPerformance Software Corporation is engaged in the design of Real-time Embedded Software and Hardware.
