- Technical Skills: Command of at least one programming language and a solid grasp of program logic and debugging.
- Soft Skills: Well-developed communication skills and a “leadership mindset” evidenced by classroom or extracurricular experience.
Roles and Responsibilities
- Full-Stack Development: Build and maintain applications (Web, Mobile, or Standalone) using modern programming languages.
- Systems Engineering: Work from functional specifications to develop system modules, enhancements, and data conversions.
- Troubleshooting & Maintenance: Provide frontline support for operating system platforms and internal business solutions.

Following the acquisition by Haier, GEA has adopted the “Zero Distance” philosophy, meaning engineers work very closely with end-user needs, reducing the gap between a technical “fix” and a customer “win.”
