Senior Test Automation Developer Vacancy
emilmont
The role involve a bit of C development (onchip RPC), a bit of C++
development (dll plugin, socket programming) and a lot of Python
development (threads, subprocesses, introspection, code
generation, ...).
The test DB and reporting is on a LAMP stack (where the P stands for
Python, specifically Django).
Further details can be found at:

I have developed this automated test system from scratch, therefore
informal questions regarding the role can be emailed to me.
Cheers,
Emilio

wrong with this position/project/group, I left it only because I was
more interested on working in the software development tools group on
compilers, linkers, assemblers, debugger and IDE.
