Disciplined software testing habits including unit testing, mocks, and test driven development.
Pronounced technical leadership of people and/or projects.
Education
You must have at least a 2:1 Honours Degree, or equivalent, in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics or related discipline. In exceptional circumstances, relevant programming experience will be considered appropriate with non-related degree.
