Profession industrial mobile devices software developer

Industrial mobile devices software developers implement applications software for specific, professional industrial mobile (handheld) devices, based on the industry needs, using general or specific development tools for device operating systems.

Personality Type

• Investigative / Conventional

Knowledge

• Internet of Things

  The general principles, categories, requirements, limitations and vulnerabilities of smart connected devices (most of them with intended internet connectivity).

• Computer programming

  The techniques and principles of software development, such as analysis, algorithms, coding, testing and compiling of programming paradigms (e.g. object oriented programming, functional programming) and of programming languages.

• Tools for software configuration management

  The software programs to perform configuration identification, control, status accounting and audit, such as CVS, ClearCase, Subversion, GIT and TortoiseSVN perform this management.

• ICT debugging tools

  The ICT tools used to test and debug programs and software code, such as GNU Debugger (GDB), Intel Debugger (IDB), Microsoft Visual Studio Debugger, Valgrind and WinDbg.

• Mobile operating systems

  The features, restrictions, architectures and other characteristics of operating systems designed to run on mobile devices, such as Android or iOS.

• Embedded systems

  The computer systems and components with a specialised and autonomous function within a larger system or machine such as embedded systems software architectures, embedded peripherals, design principles and development tools.

• Integrated development environment software

  The suite of software development tools for writing programs, such as compiler, debugger, code editor, code highlights, packaged in a unified user interface, such as Visual Studio or Eclipse.

• Industrial software

  The selection of software that aids in estimating, managing and scheduling industrial processes such as design, work flow and production improvement.

Skills

• Utilise computer-aided software engineering tools

  Use software tools (CASE) to support the development lifecycle, design and implementation of software and applications of high-quality that can be easily maintained.

• Design application interfaces

  Create and program application interfaces, their operations, inputs and outputs and underlying types.

• Develop software prototype

  Create a first incomplete or preliminary version of a piece of software application to simulate some specific aspects of the final product.

• Interpret technical texts

  Read and understand technical texts that provide information on how to perform a task, usually explained in steps.

• Use different communication channels

  Make use of various types of communication channels such as verbal, handwritten, digital and telephonic communication with the purpose of constructing and sharing ideas or information.

• Provide technical documentation

  Prepare documentation for existing and upcoming products or services, describing their functionality and composition in such a way that it is understandable for a wide audience without technical background and compliant with defined requirements and standards. Keep documentation up to date.

• Debug software

  Repair computer code by analysing testing results, locating the defects causing the software to output an incorrect or unexpected result and removing these faults.

• Use software design patterns

  Utilise reusable solutions, formalised best practices, to solve common ICT development tasks in software development and design.

• Use software libraries

  Utilise collections of codes and software packages which capture frequently used routines to help programmers simplify their work.

• Create flowchart diagram

  Compose a diagram that illustrates systematic progress through a procedure or system using connecting lines and a set of symbols.

• Analyse software specifications

  Assess the specifications of a software product or system to be developed by identifying functional and non-functional requirements, constraints and possible sets of use cases which illustrate interactions between the software and its users.
