Christchurch, New Zealand Trimble Full time

Your Title: Software Engineer

Job Location: Christchurch, NZ

Our Department: Civil Construction Field Systems

Does the idea of helping transform the construction industry using cutting-edge technologies excite you?

What You Will Do

As a Software Engineer in our Field Systems group, you’ll develop positioning and control products for earthmoving and paving machines in the construction and mining industries, using technologies such as GPS, optical total stations, lasers, IMUs, 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.

As a Software Engineer, you are responsible for working within your delivery team to develop software that meets product and customer requirements within a fast-paced, collaborative, dynamic environment.

On a daily basis, this will look like:

  • Develop and maintain machine control applications by writing high-quality code in C++ or in Android (Java and Kotlin)

  • Work independently, and receive guidance in only the most complex situations

  • Provide technical leadership to teams or projects as needed

  • Utilise your specialised depth and/or breadth of expertise in your job family

  • Interpret internal/external business challenges and recommend best practices to improve products, processes, or services

  • Lead others to solve complex problems; work on complex issues where analysis of situations or data requires an in-depth evaluation of variable factors; resolve complex issues using sophisticated analytical thought to exercise judgment and identify innovative solutions

  • Impact the achievement of customer, operational, project, or service objectives

  • Communicate difficult concepts and negotiate with others to adopt a different point of view; networks with key contacts outside your area of expertise.

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 need:

  • Relevant tertiary qualification in computer science, engineering, mechatronics, or equivalent

  • Demonstrable experience developing Android applications (Java, Kotlin), or applications written in C++ within a Windows or Linux environment

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

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

  • Experience debugging software and investigating customer reports to solve product issues

  • Nice to haves:

    • Experience in developing applications for mobile platforms preferred

    • Experience with Android application development an advantage

    • Experience with web browser based UI software development would be an advantage.

About Your Location

Based at Trimble’s NZ headquarters in Christchurch, New Zealand (handily located on the Little River Link Cycleway), enjoy free parking, securely covered bike sheds, an onsite gym, showers, an active social club, and a great team environment where people love working with leading technology solutions.

At Trimble, you'll find the inspiration and opportunity to be yourself and thrive. The global community of Team Trimble, including more than 400 people in New Zealand, is passionate about bringing new ideas and innovations to life and building a better, more sustainable future.

Please Note: Only applicants who are legally entitled to work in New Zealand will be considered.

Our products make operators of heavy equipment more productive, whether they’re working on a landscaping job in someone’s backyard, leveling a section for a house, building a subdivision or highway, or operating an 800-tonne excavator on a mine site.
