The applicant should ideally have experience of SQL and Microsoft SQL Server, or other relational database. An overall understanding of the project software development cycle is desired: system specification; software design; software development; system testing; debugging; system commissioning; customer training; and an awareness of all non-software aspects of the project that may be affected by the software.
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.
The description above covers the principle responsibilities and other duties may be required.
