This role is responsible for performing technical and functional software specification, design, coding, testing, and documentation in support of engine overhaul and repair operations. The role involves working within an Agile team to develop and maintain a mission-critical application that directly supports engine maintenance operations. Key responsibilities include maintaining and enhancing an existing Delphi VCL application, debugging issues, collaborating with business analysts, optimizing performance, and supporting integration with external systems. While the core function is software development, there is exposure to AI/ML integration, prompt engineering, and generative AI tools.
