Family Description

Applied R&D (AR) consists of target-oriented research either with the goal of solving a particular problem / answering a specific question or for multi-discipline design, development, and implementation of hardware, software, and systems including maintenance support. Supplies techno-economic consulting to clients. AR work is characterised by its detailed and complex nature in order to systematically combine existing knowledge and practices to further developing and incrementally improving products, operational processes, and customer-specific feature development.

Subfamily Description:

Software (SWA) comprises the definition, specification, and allocation of requirements from different sources utilising knowledge of systems engineering processes (specification & architecture). Contains processing of use case and feature requirements into conceptual models, operational scenarios, technical requirements, and functional description. Covers specification, design, implementation, and unit testing of Software (e.g. device drivers, microcode, hardware-related software & firmware) according to the requirements and architecture defined in the systems engineering process. Covers establishment and maintenance of Software Configuration Management (SCM) practices into software development projects, continuously building and integrating infrastructure tools and systems.

You have:

• Master's or bachelor's degree in computer science, Communication Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field
• 6 to 10 years of strong, hands-on experience in software development, architecture, and advanced troubleshooting, with a significant focus on the J2EE platform.
• A strong, demonstrable passion for exploring, evaluating, and adopting new technologies, tools, and methodologies to solve challenging technical problems and drive product innovation.
• Proficient working knowledge and practical experience with modern Integrated Development Environments (IDEs), comprehensive testing frameworks, defect tracking tools, and modern version control systems (e.g., Git).
• Cloud & Network Management Solutions: Prior experience in the design, development, and deployment of cloud-based solutions and/or network management systems.
• Programming & Scripting: Strong proficiency in multiple programming and scripting languages, including Java/J2EE, JavaScript (Node.js, GraalJS), Python, and modern front-end frameworks like React.

It would be nice if you also had:

• DevOps & Agile Leadership: Deep understanding, practical experience, and a strong advocate for modern software engineering practices, including DevOps principles, CI/CD pipelines, Agile methodologies, and comprehensive test automation strategies.
• Data Intelligence & Machine Learning: Experience applying Data Analytics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Machine Learning (ML) concepts to solve real-world problems within software solutions.
• Next-Generation Network Protocols: Working knowledge and experience with access technologies and next-generation management & control plane protocols such as NETCONF/YANG, IPFIX, gRPC, and similar.
