User Interface Software Developer

User Interface Software developer

Aversan Inc. (www.aversan.com) is a reputable Engineering Company that provides expertise in Systems Integration and Software Testing for industries including Digital Health, Medical Devices, IT and Aerospace. We are currently seeking a qualified User Interface Software Developer to work on leading-edge technology products. The successful candidate for this full-time position will be a part of a highly motivated and highly technical work environment that feeds off the collective energy of a team-oriented workplace.

Location: Ottawa – Hybrid/Remote.

DESCRIPTION: We develop systems that integrate complex sensor interfaces, data, and equipment. We tie it all together using an assortment of middleware technologies and present it using innovative modern graphical user interfaces. Our user experiences provide application operators visualization of geospatial map and terrain data, imagery, video feeds, and sensor controls overlaid with real-time data.

Operators interact with our systems using many platforms including tablets, laptops, consoles, video walls and specialized military and air traffic control workstations. Each of our systems is as unique as our customers; however, they all share a critical need to display and act on real-time geographic data.

Small project teams of up to 5 take full responsibility for designing, developing, and delivering systems. The team size allows team members to become familiar with large portions of the system and often provides the opportunity to become subject matter experts for the technology we are integrating, often in customer-facing roles.

What We Look For

• Our team sizes are small therefore you will be required to not only develop code but also be an active participant in integrating and testing code within the target solution (we are looking for someone who can see “the big picture”, not just validate functionality at a unit level).
• As a member of a motivated and structured development team, you will design and develop applications with modern graphical user interfaces that integrate and visualize a wide range of sensor and geospatial data.
• You have a track record of designing and creating great user experiences for end users.
• Occasionally our stakeholders do not have all the answers when it comes to how they want things to work. Therefore, you will need to be a critical thinker and problem solver and provide ideas to drive requirements.

Responsibilities

• Ensure software is performant across a range of platforms, including different display sizes, orientation, scaling, and resolutions.
• Produce wireframes, screen comps, and front-end code to create polished and highly functional user interfaces with a focus on usability and simplicity of design.
• Work with a small team to analyze, design, build, test, and document software applications to function across multiple platforms.
• Incorporate feedback from end users as well as members of the project team to solve any design or usability issues.

Basic Qualifications

• Ability to adapt quickly to changes in technology and scope of work.
• For a junior position, a minimum of 3 years of experience in Software Development in C++ and Qt/QML with a strong background in UX/UI design for applications.
• Strong planning and organizational skills.
• A problem-solving mindset – you are motivated to find solutions to customers’ problems.
• Ability to work both independently and as part of a team.
• Managing software configurations with Git or similar.
• Knowledge of how to design effective user interfaces using UX best practices (defining end-user personas, journey maps, workflows, and wireframes).
• A Canadian security clearance or eligibility to obtain one.
• Strong verbal, written and presentation skills, with the ability to effectively communicate to internal and external stakeholders.
• You are familiar with and have applied the UX design process.
• You are familiar with and have applied usability principles in UI design and implementation.
• A post-secondary degree in a field related to Computer Science or Engineering or equivalent relevant experience.
• Extensive knowledge in developing code in C++ using Qt and QML.
• Using development toolsets for Windows and/or Linux, including Visual Studio, Eclipse, or similar.

Preferred Qualification

• Experience and domain knowledge of geospatial technology.
• Experience and domain knowledge with one or more of Defense, ATC, and UAV applications and operations.
• Experience with Agile development process.
