Software Design Engineer-IEB-MSCIS (793132) / Microsoft / Redmond, WA

Location: Redmond, WA, US
Job ID: 793132-80177
Division: Interactive Entertainment Business

Here is your chance to join a team to help ship the next great Microsoft Hardware Products like XBOX360, Kinect, and a wide variety of accessories. You will create innovative software that will ensure our products leave the factory with world class quality and maintainability. You will work closely with the various Product teams as well as Program Managers, Design Verification and Hardware engineers with our team which is part of the Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Information and Services (MSCIS) organization.

The Manufacturing Test Engineering (MTE) team is responsible for ensuring the production quality of the XBOX 360, Kinect, and other Hardware programs with the use of our Test suite framework and our Test Control System (TCS). The MTE Test suite manages the manufacturing process by running a battery of tests at each stage of production and collecting detailed test result information about each and every device. The data is uploaded via the TCS system for additional processing, review and achieving to determine whether a specific device is ready to ship to a customer and the info is also used to make critical business decisions, ongoing product quality improvements, and essential cost reductions.

The MTE team is looking for Software Development Engineers (SDE 2) with experience in optical systems, imaging, and sensors who are willing to take on the wide array of challenges posed by our test suite framework. The task is extremely challenging as each of our products has exciting innovative features which push our developers to develop software that effectively measures and verifies this functionality.

It will be your responsibility to perform a "deep dive" into the products we manufacture and learn them from end to end. As such, you will be expected to ramp quickly, contribute to, and improve the software solutions and platforms that we develop. You will be expected to solve complex technical issues, establish patterns and practices, and provide technical leadership to the entire team.

Primary responsibilities of this position will include:
- Working closely with the individual product teams to understand and characterize their systems specifically in the area of optical design and performance, resulting in the development of the quality metrics by which the systems will be measured.
- Developing the verification specifications and hardware testing methodology that will be used during manufacturing.
- Developing the manufacturing software, owning the entire lifecycle from design and specification, to implementation on the factory floor, to continuing to monitor its performance over time.
- Developing libraries of verification routines that can be leveraged across multiple products.
- Driving innovation in the manufacturing of our existing and future Microsoft consumer electronic devices.
- Occasional international travel in support of our development efforts.

Minimum Qualifications:

- 5+ years of software development experience using C++ and/or C#, involving object-oriented practices.
- 2+ years of experience using Optical Design tools LabView and Zemax or Code V
- Proven ability to execute in all phases of the software development life cycle, resulting in high-quality software, delivered on time.
- Demonstrated ability to work in a self-directed manner, seeking out areas that need attention, rather than being asked to look at specific problem areas.
- Outstanding technical problem solving skills and a passion to solve hard problems.
- Exceptional communication skills which includes clear written and verbal communication as well as the ability to listen effectively.
- B.S. degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering or related field with relevant experience.

Preferable Qualifications:

- Experience developing software for one of our current devices, XBOX 360 or Kinect.
- Experience developing with the .NET platform, preferably with an implementation performed in C#.
- Experience specifying and developing robust Application Programming Interfaces (API?s).
- Experience with Agile software development practices.
- Experience working within a hardware manufacturing environment.
- Knowledge of scripting languages such as JavaScript, Perl, PowerShell, etc.
- Knowledge of Web Services.
- Knowledge of ASP.NET.
- M.S. degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering or Electrical Engineering.
