Software Engineering Co-op Program

The Software Engineering Co-op Program with nVent’s Electrical Connections (EC) Business is a structured experiential learning program that gives students the opportunity to couple their academic knowledge with practical situations in the work place, and simultaneously allows nVent to evaluate students as potential direct-hire talent. It is designed to engage students in the entire software development process. Students are assigned rotations and projects based on their academic levels and engineering capabilities, and are given opportunities to champion these projects to completion and make significant contributions to existing processes. Our candidates are hands-on problem-solvers who are analytical, creative, and highly professional. We seek confident leaders who take the initiative to drive results.

Software Engineering Co-ops assist with both automated and manual testing of engineering tools available on the website, including configure-price-quote tools. They also contribute to the enhancement of internal processes, digital tools, and databases. Student responsibilities may include:

• Contribute to the launch of nVent digital tools and web-based software.
• Develop software test plans and verification procedures.
• Develop automated tests as part of larger regression suites.
• Perform manual testing to uncover issues not covered by automation.
• Assist with usability testing to validate and improve UI/UX design.
• Prioritize, coordinate, and execute software quality testing activities.
• Log discovered defects with clear documentation within our defect tracking tool (Jira).
• Help software engineers reproduce and troubleshoot issues.
