Essential Job Functions:
• Participate in the development of solutions using extensive programming/analytical expertise for long-term projects to include maintenance, modification or development of applications/solutions.
• Apply system analysis techniques and procedures to gather and then translate business requirements into high level functional/technical specifications and designs. Research technology developments and measure their impact on existing standards and application architectures. Coordinate and provide experienced leadership to strategic planning, design, implementation, and verification of software, software system models, platform software advancement and product software. Serve as a technical resource for the development team working on highly complex applications. May be required to use technical expertise to install/maintain specialized areas of OS and related software.
