*Reporting to the Director of Global Technology Innovations, the Software Engineer provides input and support for full systems lifecycle management activities (e.g., analyses, technical requirements, design, coding, testing, implementation of systems and applications software, etc.).  Tasks are performed within planned durations and established deadlines.  This position collaborates within teams to ensure effective communication and to provide knowledge, development, maintenance, and support for applications.

In 2024 APH and their partner HumanWare launched the Monarch Tactile Display, a first of its kind, all-in-one tactile tablet, capable of displaying multiple lines of braille and tactile graphics on the same surface.  With this product launched and arriving in the hands of braille users around the world apps and features are being developed for years to come.  In addition, APH was recently awarded a Federal Disability Innovations Fund (DIF) grant which has software development requirements for the Monarch that this individual will develop.

The Monarch runs on Android, so development of apps for the product is primarily focused on Android and Kotlin.  Coding for other platforms will be necessary to support apps which access the Monarch from other platforms and devices.
