Here at Emerson we believe in an agile development methodology and constant team collaboration. Our teams are passionate about working together to solve challenging problems for our customers and our business. Our software is used by millions of customers worldwide; therefore, we value quality and agility so we can effectively bring new features to market. We encourage growth via challenging projects, team exercises, training, developer conferences, and other technical community involvement.

We are looking for creative team members who love to develop software. We want to work with people that make learning and teaching others a fundamental part of every day. We expect our engineers to be curious about how they can apply technology to make a meaningful impact to our customers.

In particular, we’re looking to hire a Software Engineering CO-OP who is a member of a software development team dedicated to solving customer problems through technology. CO-OPs participate in all facets of the software development lifecycle including requirements gathering, design, development, and testing.

Web Developers at Emerson participate in full-stack development of enterprise-grade web applications including everything from responsive front-end development all the way down to database design, unit testing, and DevOps.

While engineers here are exposed to many different aspects of development, each individual is given opportunities to grow in areas that interest them most. For some it is UX design and front-end development, and others it might be API design and back-end development. Senior engineers are here to mentor along the way, but even co-ops can take the lead in introducing new technology to the team! Learning together is a big part of what enables us to deliver the best solutions for our customers while also growing our teams’ capabilities.

We are looking to hire a Web Developer who can participate in all facets of projects from requirements gathering, design, development (including unit testing of course!), and DevOps.

• Develops and unit tests development tasks, sometimes via pair programming

• Participates in requirements gathering and breakdown sessions with the customer and the development team

• Assists with functional testing and other tasks as needed

• Learn and grow into a professional and productive team member

• Currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Software Engineering, Software Development, Computer Science, or related field

• At least one object-oriented programming course completed prior to co-op

• Sophomore or higher class status

• Ability to return for multiple co-op rotations

• Legal authorization to work in the United States - Sponsorship will not be provided for this role

• Java, .NET, iOS, Android, or other high-level programming experience is a major plus, but not required

• Relational database/SQL knowledge

• HTML/CSS

• Javascript/JQuery

• Holiday Bonus

• Medical, Dental, Vision

• Wellness programs and on-site fitness center

• RIDGID tool loaner program

• Board gaming sessions

• Access to Pluralsight for online training

Co-ops are not expected to be experienced in software development, but are expected to learn quickly and be open to constructive feedback. Co-ops are expected to grow into contributing members of the development team, develop a professional work ethic, and grow in their technical and interpersonal skills through work experience. Communicating effectively with the team is one of the most important skills to learn.
