Job Description:

Due to the ultra-collaborative nature of the development, the position offers tremendous opportunity to further grow and evolve development and testing skills.
  • The software targets both Android and Windows platforms, with Java and C++ being the primary development languages. The Android software is integrated with the ATAK software suite while the Windows solution integrates with WinTAK. Automated functional test scripts are developed within the TestComplete framework using VBScript.
