GE Appliances Software Opportunity

Hi EE Majors;

I will be recruiting co-ops in Gainesville next week. Here are some details about the positions I will be hiring for:

• We’re a small to medium sized team located in Louisville and Seoul (most full-time developers have had the opportunity to travel to Seoul)       
• We develop in C (production code) and various scripting languages (tooling)
• We work in a resource-constrained environment with (generally) no heap, and primarily run bare metal but some projects use an RTOS
• We are Agile!
• We’re heavily invested in Test Driven Development (TDD) which is a great way to work
•   We use continuous integration to automate builds and identify issues quickly
• We’re invested in continuous learning and developers have the opportunity to attend software conferences
• MacBook Pros are available to all developers in Louisville and the vast majority choose to use a Mac
• We’re doing a lot of work towards making connected appliances — this means creating both highly debuggable platforms for development as well as enabling Internet of Things (IoT) functionality
• Co-ops will write production code and will have the opportunity to work alongside full-time engineers
• The software team is the best team at GE – we have a relaxed dress code, great bosses, and a ping pong table that gets a lot of use
• Prior knowledge/experience is great, but what we value most is someone who is passionate and can learn

Essential Responsibilities:

Co-ops joining our team have opportunities to complete innovative technical assignments in a variety of product areas including appliances (refrigeration, washer systems and cooking products) and Internet of Things (IOT) technologies.  The SW co-ops will be exposed to fast paced projects developing embedded C code and a variety of languages to implement product features and connectivity for appliances. While, also, learning  a wide variety of processes for embedded development, including Test Driven Development(TDD), Agile and Continuous Integration.   Our co-ops get to work on some of the newest innovations that will impact our environment. Sustainability  initiatives are a company-wide commitment to imagine and build innovative solutions that benefit our consumers and society at large. Some of these Eco-friendly products that our co-ops have contributed to are the GE Profile Harmony laundry pair, which delivers energy and water savings using a HydroMotion wash. If every U.S. household owning a washer not qualified ENERGY STAR were to replace it with a GE Profile Harmony washer, we could save enough water each year to fill nearly 400,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools. Refrigerators with FrostGuard defrost 20 percent less than conventional units, keeping frozen foods at their best. The system, working independently, uses a dual evaporator system to provide the best environment for fresh and frozen food. The decrease in greenhouse gas emissions over the life of all the GE ENERGY STAR -qualified refrigerators that were sold in 2005 is equivalent to eliminating more than 71,000 cars from U.S. roads for an entire year. The benefits of this experience extend beyond the exciting work assignments and competitive wages. We value development and offer several training opportunities to enhance students' technical and professional development including, communication skills and resume writing. Our co-ops participate on committees of their peers that offer opportunities to network with the leaders of the company. The committees perform many community service activities such as mentoring/tutoring elementary students. The co-ops have many social events both in and out of work. These include lunches, weekend activities, sports, and cookouts.
