As a computer software engineer, you will spend 100% of your time on the computer. You will be the backbone of the computer industry developing new software for various applications. It is essential that you hold at least an undergraduate degree in Computer Science or Software Engineering. You will need to have a broad knowledge of computer systems and applications and be able to apply the theory to practice. Mathematics is central to developing new software programs, so you will need to be strong in this area. Graduates with advanced degrees in Mathematics combined with a degree or experience in computers are usually the first ones to get hired for this type of job.

A computer software engineer analyses the data to find what a client needs in software and then designs the program that will satisfy these needs. This requires the creation of algorithms, which are detailed instructions for the computer to do its work. You may be an applications software engineer, which means that you would be responsible for deigning, testing and developing the software. You can also become a computer systems software engineer where you would be responsible for constructing, maintaining and expanding the computer system of an organization or company.

In addition to their college education, most computer software engineers have additional certification that helps them in their jobs. These certifications are recognized worldwide. The most common of these is the A+ certification and iot certifies that you are a competent networking professional. Another certification that is useful for this particular job is certification in C++. This certification tells your potential employer that you have passed the exams demonstrating that you have the skills and knowledge necessary to designing and implementing distributed applications. A certificate in Java is also beneficial as this is the most commonly used computer language. You can take the courses leading to several such certifications in programming and developing software.



You must possess personal characteristics to obtain a job as a computer software engineer. Strong problem solving and analytical skills are essential in this position. You will also need to have good interpersonal skills because you will be working as part of a team. To be a good team member, you must be able to interact and get along with all those on the team. Concentration and paying attention to detail are also necessary skills in this type of work. A simple typo on the keyboard can make the difference in whether or not the software will work as it should.

Advancement in the career as computer software engineer comes with experience and additional certifications. You do have to keep abreast of all the changes in technology and you may have to engage in continuing education in this field. Some of the promotions you can achieve include project manager, information systems manager or you may become an independent consultant in your own business. The job market in this field is growing faster than any other and the salary for these jobs is much higher than in other professions.
