Software Engineer Career Profiles

While software developers are the creative driving force behind the design of software programs, engineers make the programs happen and ensure they work seamlessly. Software engineers develop, test, and evaluate software programs. Software engineers need to have a strong background in math and computer science. They fulfill an important role in ensuring software programs work properly for end users.

A strong technical background is essential for this career path. Software engineers often have formal advanced training by earning bachelor degrees in the field of computer science or computer engineering. Many also have on-the-job experience and a demonstrated capability for successfully ensuring software performs effectively. As with all computer and IT careers, special certifications are always a plus and sometimes a requirement for employers.

Software engineers can work in many different fields, including technology companies or any company that wishes to design its own software programs. Most work is done in an office environment during normal business hours, although work hours are often flexible, and long hours may be required to meet software release deadlines.

Knowing what is involved in being a software engineer is important if you are considering this job.
