Position Summary:
EASi is a global leader in engineering services, and a part of the Allegis Group, North America’s largest privately-held human capital solutions company. EASi is continuing to build a software division and strengthen its software development capabilities in Montreal. We have a new engineering facility in Ville Saint-Laurent and have a very collaborative and cohesive work environment. The reason for this opening is that EASi is investing in making several long-term hires to build a critical mass on its software team.
The Windows Software Developer will be responsible for the full software development lifecycle on complex projects (design, development, testing, etc.) They will be working both autonomously and amongst EASi and its clients’ teams and will have several opportunities for promotion and growth in a rapidly expanding company.
Programming languages vary depending on the project, and are typically object oriented such as C++, C# or Java. These applications typically support embedded systems by performing higher level functionality such as managing data (e.g. desktop databases) and providing full user interfaces for managing work. Although there is occasionally embedded logic such as control logic (e.g. PID loops, CAN interface) included. The developer also requires a solid understanding of object-oriented programming and Windows APIs and services
The first project this person would be supporting is for a major customer in the oil/gas exploration industry. These are next generation electric pumping equipment being used for fracking and drilling. The product in question is an application used during their process of pouring of concrete around pipes in the field. A group of vehicles involved in fracking use this tool and communicate with each other through Ethernet. It is controlled from a Windows tablet and the specific name of the application is "ACE." EASi recently completed the porting of the product to a new system/architecture and are now going to be working on developing a variety of new features & maintaining the product.
