COMPUTATIONAL SCIENTIST ASSOCIATE (2) (T229902)
The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) is seeking a COMPUTER SCIENTIST ASSOCIATE early‑career embedded Software Developer position for UAB's Engineering and Innovative Technology Development (EITD) group.
Responsibilities include developing viable software/firmware components based on project requirements and specifications, assisting in development, testing, continuous improvement, and deployment of desktop, web‑based, and embedded software/firmware applications to support payload systems for space applications. You will develop detailed engineering documents, test and validation plans, perform component and system‑level testing and debugging, and develop preliminary test and analysis code for complex engineering hardware and devices. You will review and check code produced by others for adherence to technical specifications, quality standards, capabilities, and requirements, assist with benchtop prototyping of component and board‑level designs for iterative testing and integration, and demonstrate effective technical communication to guide deployment and integration efforts.
Engineering and Innovative Technology Development (EITD) supports the development of specialized research instruments for ground and microgravity‑based research experiments. Since 1990, it has grown into a full‑service organization, providing customers with a range of solutions from technical guidance to complete turn‑key systems and services from concept through fabrication, deployment, and operational support. The team does design, development, and commercialization of innovative hardware and software systems for the aeronautic and life sciences industry, and leads development of cold stowage hardware for use in microgravity and exploration.
