## Description

The main function of an Embedded Software Engineer is to apply the principles of computer science and mathematical analysis to the design, development, testing, and evaluation of the embedded software and systems that make computers work. A typical Embedded Software Engineer researches, designs, develops and tests operating systems-level software, compilers, and network distribution software for medical, industrial, military, communications, aerospace, business, scientific and general computing applications., The application architect assigns a task for a new requirement or issue.
Collaborate within the hauling team, with process partners, and with SMEs to identify potential solutions and select one.
Analysis may be required to understand the problem or to evaluate benefits and risks.
Document the selected design and break it down into work items assigned to the appropriate teams.
Collaborate with delivery teams as needed during implementation.
When implementation is complete, review delivery against the original request and requirements.
Collaborate with the validation team as they create a test plan. Support them as needed to triage issues.
