Engineering positions (FT) at John Deere
 
A Project Manager, Aman Deshpande, from John Deere reached out to share some full-time positions for which he is interested in recruiting Master's ECE graduates. 
 
Would you please share these opportunities with current students and recent alumni for their consideration? I believe that the first role (Application Engineer / Software Integrator) may be eligible for visa sponsorship. The second role (Embedded Software Engineer) is definitely not eligible for visa sponsorship. 
 
Interested candidates should email their resumes (or any questions about the role) to Aman directly. His email address is DeshpandeAman@JohnDeere.com.
