Welcome! The goal of this page is to give you a succinct overview of the Software Directorate, including various links for more information on specific topics.
Within SD, there are 6 groups:
Each new hire joins a specific group for management purposes, but may work on projects in other areas based on your skills and what our current activities are.
Your manager will work with HR and IT to ensure you have the equipment you need to work. Based on this, you will be provided equipment that has been set up by IT. Contact us if you have specific requests or needs that we may be able to help with.
We use various virtual workspaces to work together as a team. These include Slack, Zoom, Google Drive, Box, and more. Below, please find some information on getting started with these.
As with virtual workspaces, your supervisor should make you aware of any meetings you need to attend. Coordinate with them and/or Lisa Yanello to ensure you are invited and have the appropriate dial-in information.
