  • Minimum 10+ years of SW development including 4+ years experience in C/C++, C#/.NET or Java/J2EE for an embedded system with a user interface component.
  • Exposure to user interface toolkits such as Flash ActionScript development or AJAX.
  • Excellent knowledge of Object Oriented Programming and modern software design.
  • Experience as a technical lead role on a large team of developers.
  • Experience connecting the user interface with backend systems.
  • Ability to identify performance bottlenecks, refactor and re-implement for improved performance while supporting existing functionalities.
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced and dynamic environment.
  • Collaborative and product-focused attitude.
  • BS CS/CE/EE or equivalent.

What will really get you noticed by our team:

  • Experience with developing for FlashLite is a big plus.
  • Experience with Java software development is not required, but is highly desirable.
  • Experience with TV set-top box is a big plus.
  • Experience working with external compilers such as MTASC.
