WHAT TO EXPECT

Every moment of every day, IT keeps my client moving in the right direction. Without it, their business simply cannot evolve. So the projects you work on will have a real impact.

You'll also ensure the base station software meets all production quality requirements through validation testing of functionality and performance.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED

You'll have detailed knowledge of Linux kernel and distributions, and demonstration proven experience of working within the Open Source community. You'll be used to integrating large-scale embedded software systems, using a number of software version control system and related tools, such as Python, Perl, or Bash to automate software build activities. You'll also need a degree in software engineering or a similar discipline.

It will also be beneficial if you can communicate complex technical issues to a variety of technical and non-technical stakeholders.
