Software Solutions Development Program (SDP)

About the Role

The Software Solutions Development Program (SDP) is a three-year rotational program designed to develop future technology leaders who can bridge business needs and technical solutions. This program provides hands-on experience in software development while emphasizing strategy, collaboration, system design, and stakeholder engagement. Participants will rotate across multiple technology domains—including connected products, enterprise platforms, analytics, ERP systems, and intelligent automation—gaining a holistic understanding of how technology enables business outcomes. This role is well-suited for individuals interested in growing toward technical leadership, solution ownership, or business-facing technology roles, rather than deep specialization in individual programming tasks. Graduates of this program will be well-positioned for roles such as technology lead, product owner, systems analyst, solution architect, and engineering manager.

• Apply and learn modern development tools and platforms, such as object-oriented languages, web technologies, databases, cloud services, and version control, while also contributing to design reviews, architectural discussions, and delivery planning.
• Facilitate communication of technical concepts between technical and non-technical audiences.
• Partner with mentors and rotation managers to set goals, track progress, and reflect on learnings at the conclusion of each rotation.
• Engage in elective “lab” projects to broaden experience in areas like DevOps, UI/UX, AI/ML, and cross-functional consulting.

Preferred Qualifications That Set You Apart

• Master's degree in software engineering or MBA.
• Engineering co-op or intern experience.
• Experience collaborating with cross-functional teams to define and deliver software-enabled solutions.
• Demonstrated ability to communicate technical concepts to non-technical audiences.
• Experience gathering, documenting, and validating business or system requirements.
• Participation in project planning, stakeholder reviews, and/or solution design discussions.
