Fixed-term (12
months), commencing in January 2012
-
Based in Christchurch, New Zealand
Trimble's GIS Data Collection (GIS)
organization, based in Christchurch, is looking for two QA Analyst Interns to
join their Christchurch team. This is a 12 month fixed-term position, working
full-time hours. The successful applicants will work directly with members of
the GIS Technical Services team and undertake a wide range of duties related to
the testing and performance analysis of GIS Data Collection software &
hardware products. You will be working in one or more of the following areas:
GPS receivers, firmware, software (datalogger applications running on Windows
Mobile and office applications running on Windows), as well as integration
& end user testing.
Preference will be
given to high achieving, qualified students who are taking a sandwich year or
taking a year between their bachelor and master’s degree. Recent graduates who
want to gain industry experience in the location-based services field will also
be considered.
The successful
applicant(s) will work one-on-one with a Master Tester and members of the GIS Data
Collection engineering teams, and will undertake a wide range of duties related
to the testing and performance analysis of software & hardware products.
This is challenging and varied work.
The following
qualifications are important for this position:
• At
least two years completed in undergraduate studies in computer science,
software engineering, geography, mechatronics or related engineering field
• Strong
computer skills such as ArcGIS, ArcPad, C# or scripting
• High
attention to detail, with strong problem-solving skills and an ability to think
creatively
• GPS,
GIS or Survey experience
• Excellent
communication skills – both written and verbal
• Willingness
to undertake outdoor, physical work as and when required.
Students with a
“hacker” approach would find this testing work particularly rewarding. One
aspect of our testing is the use of exploratory techniques, so we are looking
for people who can “dig in” and find and diagnose problems in a complex
product.
What’s in it for you? You will gain practical industry experience by
working directly with software, hardware and firmware engineers, product
marketing managers and product support specialists. You will be part of a team contributing
to the product development of handheld GPS units and software for the world
market. You will be earning money for a year help pay your University expenses.
You will gain experience in world class research & development and testing,
and you will see the changes your contributions have made on the products Trimble
delivers within the next year. Take a look at our products: www.trimble.com/mgis.
