Your Role & Responsibilities
-
Design, build and own the software test automation infrastructure and frameworks for the Robotics team's software systems
-
Develop automated test suites covering unit, integration, system and regression testing across robotics software components
-
Work closely with robotics software engineers to define testable requirements and embed quality practices early in the development cycle ("shift-left" testing)
-
Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines with integrated automated testing (build, test, deploy)
-
Identify, triage and track defects; collaborate with engineers to root-cause and resolve issues
-
Define test strategy, coverage metrics and quality KPIs for the team's software deliverables
-
Evaluate, select and introduce the test automation tools and frameworks best suited to robotics/embedded software
-
Continuously improve the reliability, speed and maintainability of the test infrastructure
-
Act as a quality advocate within the Robotics team, promoting a strong testing culture without belonging to a separate QA function
Required Technical and Professional Expertise
-
Proven experience as a Software Test Automation Engineer, SDET, or Software Engineer in Test, ideally within robotics, embedded systems, or complex hardware/software products
-
Hands-on experience building test automation frameworks from scratch, not just operating existing ones
-
Experience with CI/CD tooling (e.g. Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions)
-
Familiarity with robotics software ecosystems (ROS/ROS2) and/or simulation environments (e.g. Gazebo) is a strong plus
-
Experience with hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing, or testing systems that interact with physical hardware, is a plus
-
A genuinely strong testing mindset - able to think through edge cases, failure modes and system reliability, not just "does it pass"
-
Comfortable working embedded directly within a development/engineering team rather than a separate QA department
-
An ownership mentality - comfortable building and owning infrastructure from the ground up
-
Fluent in English; German is a plus
