About you

If you like to break stuff and understand why it broke; enjoy starting with only the vaguest description of a bug and doing what it takes to define it fully; relish cutting through the tangled web of a specification to get to the bottom of what was actually done; are passionate about delivering quality products; are creative, energetic and self-managing then you might be exactly the person that we are looking for!

We need someone who can think like our users, and can communicate technically complex concepts clearly, both verbally and in writing. You will also be someone who continuously and proactively aims to improve the quality processes around our software.

A proven interest in software development, experience of Windows operating systems and an understanding of engineering processes and/or the use of technical software are essential. You will also have an honours degree (most likely in an engineering or scientific discipline) or equivalent experience.

Previous experience of testing and/or developing software is an advantage, but not a requirement.
