What entry-level positions are there in this field that an undergraduate college student might consider?
When you start as a software engineer or software developer straight out of undergrad, you should be treated as a full member of the team. You'll be building functioning code and likely have a manager to help you.
However, if you have an idea or believe something should be different, a good team will listen to you. The job doesn't really change as you progress from entry-level engineer to principal engineer.
Perhaps you'll be doing more important things, making more impactful decisions, or advising more people on how to write code. But fundamentally, the job of an engineer doesn't change much from when you start to when you've been in the profession for 30 years.
