• Drafting software requirements for features of our products;
• Acting in a multidisciplinary environment of Electronic, Mechanical and IT engineers and introducing our features to the field / the assembly line of our factory.
• Acting as developer in a scrum team, e.g. sharing development status in daily stand-up, retrospectives, or refinements of the software backlog.

• After that you are often in contact with other teams or suppliers to coordinate matters concerning your project or you start assisting a team mate who face an issue;
• Depending on the day, in the afternoon there is a refinement of the backlog (descriptions and/or additions of details etc). All members of the Scrum team contribute to the refinement. This is desired because it ensures that all members are aware of the work backlog. In addition, you are expected to independently update Jira issues (issue tracker): this provides insight into all the project that we do;
• Finally, software releases are released with guiding design documentation or change notes, the Notified Body can schedule their inspection. These alternate tasks are divided into sprints, allowing the team to decide who and when a task will be picked up.
