Software Engineer

Join a team creating cutting edge software for the Architectural, Engineering and Construction (AEC) community. You will play a key role in charting the future development of this software application, a BIM (Building Information Modeling) product configurator that guides users through the entire process of specifying and procuring doors, frames and related hardware. This application will be used to analyze, visualize, share and enhance real world construction projects across the globe.

What would you do as a Software Engineer?

Develop advanced software for the AEC community. Openings Studio is primarily a fat client application with a centralized server-side database. You will develop client facing interfaces using Java, .NET and C++ that analyze BIM construction documents and generate interactive 3D worlds for project and product visualization and configuration. You will be developing web services that execute client requests and plug-in DLLs that interface with 3rd party design applications from Autodesk and other BIM software vendors.

Reporting to the Senior Software Engineer, you will take a key role on a talented multi person team and work on the development and enhancements to Openings Studio. You'll write a large amount of code, design, communicate ideas to the team, implement and ultimately be able to step in and handle any component or the entire life cycle of the process. We have a fast-moving environment where you might have multiple projects -- new development, upgrades, enhancements, etc. You'll use a wide range of programming skills in completing these tasks.

Your specific activities will include:

• Writing:
  • Java, .NET and native C++ code.
• Evaluating:
  • Requested changes/enhancements to size requests.
  • Software products to be offered in conjunction with existing products.
  • Development, test and productivity tools.
  • Operating environments required for application usage.
  • Extension of the application onto mobile platforms.
• Determining:
  • How to incorporate requests into the existing database structure and multi-language codebase.
  • End user hardware and software requirements for product installations.
• Developing and/or identifying:
  • Integration of internal and external product design into a cohesive user experience.
  • Requirements for a requested software change/enhancement.
  • Automated test capabilities through software design.
  • Paths from existing to future software architectures.
• Maintaining:
  • Documentation and coding standards.
  • Up-to-date knowledge of technological advances.

You will have:

• A bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science or a related major.
• Experience with object oriented programming in Java, .NET Framework or similar language.  Java and .NET experience is highly desired.
• Experience utilizing Visual Studio, Eclipse or Netbeans IDEs.
• Experience using a SQL database engine.
• Strong understanding of application security concepts for Internet technology, architecture and protocols
• Solid understanding of object-, component- and service-oriented design principles.
• At least 3 years work experience writing code for software applications

You also will need the following competencies:

• Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills, including the ability to act as a bridge between non-technical users and technical resources.
• The ability to:
  • Perform against tight deadlines and multi-task effectively.
  • Work effectively with groups of varying technical expertise.
  • Excel at both working independently and in a group setting.
• Strong self-motivation balanced with a desire to achieve team goals.

Preferred but not required:

• Understanding of formal software development methodologies, preferably agile or lean.
• Experience in development for mobile devices, specifically .NET MAUI.
• Experience with 3D computer graphics APIs such as DirectX or OpenGL.
