The Applications Software Engineer assists in the development of project software components, including:
•Specification and acquisition of project computer hardware and commercial software.
•Setup and configuration of project computer hardware and software.
•Development of software functional specifications and design specifications.
•Designing, coding, configuring, testing, debugging, installing and supporting project specific system software including:
- Application specific software modules including decision point processing, custom event processing (I/O events), and other application specific processing, primarily using a scripting language.
- Configuration of project specific database tables.
- Internal lab testing and simulation testing of project related host software.
- Troubleshooting, debugging, and assisting in applying corrective service software packs to product and project software.
- Archiving/preserving project related software.
- Customising of User and System Management manuals.
- Training of customer personnel on the use of the system.
- System installation and implementation.
- Remote and on-site support of installed systems.
