This position offers the opportunity to implement critical infrastructure and automation for development and deployment of high-end commercial engineering software products developed in a fast-paced, no-nonsense environment using modern tools and approaches. Our team works collaboratively—with inputs from customers and our own industry experts—to produce high-quality product releases in an agile and nimble environment.
At Vitech, we develop cutting edge model-based systems engineering (MBSE) and Digital Engineering software that empowers our customers to specify, architect, design, and deliver products that they and their end customers love.
