access processors and hardware
components. Basically, anything that has a
chip in it requires a systems software
developer to make it work. These positions

create the programs that run on the
operating systems.
Computer and information research
scientists invent and design new approaches
to computing technology and find
innovative uses for existing technology.

or systems that run on a computer or another
device.
Write code through the use of programming
languages, such as c++ and Java.
Computer programmers create instructions
that enable computers to generate
