REQUIRED SKILLS & QUALIFICATIONS
• Education & Field of Study: Pursuing or recently completed a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, or a related technical field9. A solid academic foundation in software or hardware systems is important for understanding STB technology.
• Technical Knowledge: Initial familiarity with digital TV, media streaming, or broadcast technologies – for example, understanding the basics of DVB/MPEG standards and OTT delivery – is expected, and can be further studied during the internship10. Competency with operating systems (especially Linux and Android) is required for configuring STBs and analyzing their behavior11.
• Software Testing Fundamentals: Knowledge of software testing methodologies and QA processes is required. The candidate should understand how to design test cases, follow test plans, and document/report bugs effectively12. Exposure to concepts like functional testing, regression testing, and performance testing is important, even if through coursework.
• Analytical & Problem-Solving Skills: Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot and analyze issues in both software and hardware contexts13. The intern must be detail-oriented in observing anomalies and systematic in isolating root causes of failures. An electronics background or understanding of device hardware can help in diagnosing STB issues (e.g., differentiating a software bug from a hardware or signal issue).
• Communication Skills: Excellent written and verbal communication in English is mandatory14. The role involves writing detailed test documents and defect reports, as well as daily interaction with international teams. For the Mexico-based position, Spanish fluency is required (in addition to English) to effectively communicate with local stakeholders and possibly Spanish-speaking teams.
• Teamwork & Self-Management: Ability to work closely within a QA team and with external vendors, while also being proactive and able to work independently. A willing attitude to learn new tools and technologies, and adapt to a dynamic testing environment, is essential.
• Availability: Must be available for a full-time commitment (40 hours per week) for 6 months, and authorized to work in the internship location (Luxembourg or Mexico/USA, as applicable).
