Job Description:

Your Work Shapes the World at Caterpillar Inc.

When you join Caterpillar, you're joining a global team who cares not just about the work we do – but also about each other. We are the makers, problem solvers, and future world builders who are creating stronger, more sustainable communities. We don't just talk about progress and innovation here – we make it happen, with our customers, where we work and live. Together, we are building a better world, so we can all enjoy living in it.

The CTCT division (a joint venture between Trimble and Caterpillar) develops positioning and control products for earthmoving and paving machines in the construction and mining industries, using technologies such as GPS, optical total stations, lasers and sonics. The products are used in a range of applications where the operator of the machine benefits from having accurate horizontal and vertical guidance.

Job Summary

As a Software Engineer in our delivery team you’ll create dynamic, cross-platform, system features that help heavy equipment owners, operators, and technicians do their jobs more efficiently, more effectively, and better than the competition. You will be accountable for development of high quality software that hits the mark for what customers need, for working with their team to improve the development process, and doing it all within a large global development framework that is always evolving.

What you'll do?

Along with your team you will predominantly be working on development and evolution of our Earthworks system, with a focus on cloud connectivity and data services.

On a daily basis this will look like:

• Collaborating with team members on development and test scope, architecture and other development activities.

• Working with application domain experts and other software developers across multiple international sites to deliver identified customer value.

• Development and evolution of solutions on embedded linux using C++

• Design and build applications using web technologies like Angular, Typescript, HTML, and CSS.

• Work in and contribute to a distributed system. This includes identifying subdomains and creating bounded contexts. It would be helpful to have experience creating micro frontends with module federation in modern web applications.

• Demonstrating a set of fundamental software engineering skills that result in predictability in engineering, scheduling and the quality of products developed.

What you'll bring?

Along with being a team player, with strong work prioritisation skills and a collaborative communication and working style, you will also:

• Hold a relevant tertiary qualification in computer science, engineering, mathematics, mechatronics or equivalent experience

• Experience developing software in C++.

• Experience building web applications with Typescript, preferably Angular (or other modern javascript frameworks).

• Have experience working within a full engineering process involving specification, development, automated testing, continuous delivery and documentation.
