Software Development
Most systems depend upon software. Some applications are sufficiently generic that they can exploit 'off the shelf' software. As application requirements become more specific, however, the need for bespoke software grows.
Bespoke software developers encounter a wide range of hardware platforms. These range from general purpose desktop computing devices, through slightly more application specific PDAs and mobile phones through to extremely specialised embedded systems. In all of these cases the role of the software developer is to implement the required functionality on the chosen hardware platform.
This requires not only a thorough understanding of the hardware platform, software tools and language to be used, but also an understanding of the functional requirements themselves and the nature of any algorithms to be employed.
