Support developers through GitHub issues and pull requests while designing reliable systems with authentication, retries, idempotency, rate limits, monitoring, and error recovery.

Provides technical support and development for core banking and ancillary applications. Responsibilities include coding, application implementation and installation, patching, database and program specification, testing, batch-cycle troubleshooting, issue remediation, and project support. The role collaborates with business and technical analysts, supports application releases, maintains operational standards, and develops expertise in legacy and modern technologies.

Design, prototype, machine, and test mechanical components, molds, tooling, and fixtures. Develop CAD/CAM models and CNC tool paths, optimize machining processes, inspect parts using precision metrology, create technical documentation, and support continuous improvement on the manufacturing floor. The role combines engineering office work with hands-on prototyping and production support.

Performs entry-level electrical engineering work under supervision, applying engineering principles to routine analyses, project planning, cost estimates, technical reports, and problem-solving. Collaborates with higher-level engineers, follows applicable standards and regulations, monitors project status, and supports reliable, economical electricity delivery. The position is part of a career progression from associate through principal engineer and requires successful completion of a Physical Abilities Test.

Provides automation and operational technology services across industrial environments. Responsibilities include PLC, RTU, DCS, and SCADA programming; instrumentation and calibration; industrial networking; control cabinet design; electrical troubleshooting; technical documentation; commissioning; and ongoing customer support. The role requires collaboration, problem-solving, cross-functional communication, and approximately 20% travel for field work.
