Original posting

London UK: Junior test automation engineer. Permanent, full-time, on-site. At YouView we are automating the testing of our product (a set-top box) using stb-tester[1], a tool that we developed and open-sourced which captures video from the set-top box and analyses it in real time. These are early days for the project, so you can have a large impact on its direction and success. One week you might be writing a python module to control a network-controllable power supply; another week it might be a script to generate comprehensive test coverage of a menu tree. There will be tedious work too, but we want the kind of person who hates tedious work so much that they automate it away. Unix shell scripting and administration experience is highly desirable. The test scripts themselves are written in python. [1] http://stb-tester.com
