Technical Skills
Experience in one or more of the following would be particularly beneficial:
- Java / JavaFX / NetBeans
- C++ / Visual Studio
- Python
- Automated software testing
- Unit testing - JUnit / CppUnit
- Requirements management - ideally IBM DOORS
- UML / Enterprise Architect
- IBM Engineering Test Manager / Workflow Manager
- MATLAB
- LabVIEW
- SQL
- HTML / JavaScript
- Virtualisation
- Network configuration and communications protocols
- Agile software development
A strong bias towards either Java or C++ is absolutely acceptable; candidates are not expected to be equally experienced in both.
