## About the Role

* A degree or vocational qualification in electrical engineering, computer science, embedded systems, or a related field
 * 3+ years of experience testing software that runs on or with hardware (embedded products, devices, sensors, or similar systems), including independently owning the test and quality approach for that work.
 * Experience with RF, embedded, sensor, or similarly hardware-integrated systems, with the technical aptitude and curiosity to develop deep expertise in RF sensor technologies.
 * Hands-on experience building and maintaining automated tests or test tooling, ideally in Python pytest, with the ability to independently support hardware-backed regression testing.
 * Comfort working in Linux-based systems (SSH, Networking).
 * A collaborative, quality-focused working style: you Join Forces with others, Own It on the quality of the work you take on, and speak up with candor when something is unclear or broken.
 * It's a plus if you have experience with drones or hardware-in-the-loop / continuous integration test setups and an interest in supporting others as they grow.

## Description

* Own the test strategy and independent verification approach for RF sensor software from design through release, adding rigor through regression, integration, and real-world validation.
 * Design and own test strategies spanning feature, regression, integration / interface, system, and field validation. Combine automated coverage with targeted manual validation based on risk and technical feasibility.
 * Develop in-depth functional tests for individual components of the RF sensor software, and keep those tests maintainable as the product evolves.
 * Reproduce, isolate, and characterize issues on real sensor hardware and in test environments; capture clear reproduction steps, logs, and environment details.
 * Build and maintain hardware-backed automated regression tests and supporting test tooling.
 * Monitor and improve development and test systems and test hardware so environments stay stable, observable, and ready for daily use.
 * Partner closely with RF Engineering and independently verify behavior in realistic environments and across system interfaces. Execute system, release, field, and acceptance testing with release stakeholders.
 * Document test results and defects clearly, and contribute to software design reviews and after-action reviews for the work you own.
 * Share knowledge with the wider team, give actionable feedback, and support newer engineers and interns through pairing, reviews, and onboarding.
 * Use approved agentic AI tools regularly to design tests, analyze results, and draft documentation and review AI output against quality, security, and performance standards before you rely on it., The above job description is not intended as, nor should it be construed as, exhaustive of all duties, responsibilities, skills, efforts, or working conditions associated with this job.
