How You'll Create Possibilities

Develop the embedded controls for next generation of high-end, consumer friendly and energy efficient appliances:

• We develop in C (production code) and scripting languages like Lua and JavaScript (tooling). And we design/implement firmware architecture based on highly modular concepts to support parametrically driven code for support of multiple appliance platforms.
• We work in a resource-constrained environment with (generally) no heap, and primarily run bare metal but some projects use an RTOS
• We use the industry-leading version control system Git
• We are Agile!
• We’re heavily invested in Test Driven Development (TDD) which is a great way to work
• We use continuous integration to automate builds and identify issues quickly
• We’re doing a lot of work towards making connected appliances — this means creating both highly debuggable platforms for development as well as enabling Internet of Things (IoT) functionality 70%

Learn through challenges and contribute to creating new advanced appliances.

• We’re invested in continuous learning and full time developers have the 30% opportunity to attend software conferences.
• We have Hackathon events that enable us to think outside the box and generate innovative ideas for cool appliances.
• We encourage 20 percent rule. Learn new skills and make your ideas happen to benefit yourself and GE Appliances and in any way.
