Job description

As a Software & Hardware Integration QA Engineer, you will play a key role in ensuring the quality and reliability of Quandela’s quantum computing systems
Your main focus will be on validating the integration between software and physical hardware: ensuring that our software interfaces correctly control, communicate with, and monitor equipment such as photon sources, laser control systems and other optical and electronic components
You will design and automate integration and end-to-end testing, while helping structure robust validation processes as Quandela moves from low-volume, highly complex systems toward more scalable and repeatable production
Working closely with software, hardware, systems and industrialization teams, you will contribute to building the testing methods, tools, documentation and quality standards required for this next stage of growth
Define QA plans, test strategies, acceptance criteria and validation procedures for software/hardware integrated systems
Design and execute functional, integration, system, regression and robustness tests on real equipment
Build automated software-to-hardware integration and end-to-end tests
Validate complete workflows, from software interfaces and commands to their execution by physical equipment
Test and troubleshoot communication between software and hardware through interfaces and protocols such as Ethernet and serial connections
Develop and maintain automated tests and test tools using Python and testing frameworks such as Behave, with reporting tools such as Allure
Integrate automated testing into continuous integration pipelines where relevant
Reproduce, document and track defects through resolution, verify fixes and assess regression risks
Maintain clear traceability between requirements, test cases, defects and test results
Produce test reports, quality metrics and technical documentation to support validation and release decisions
Help define and continuously improve industrial-grade validation processes, test procedures and quality practices
Build reusable and scalable testing methods to support the progressive ramp-up of Quandela’s quantum computing systems
Collaborate closely with software, hardware, systems and industrialization engineers to improve overall product quality

Requirements

Good communication skills and the ability to collaborate with multidisciplinary teams
Experience with automated testing frameworks and reporting tools; experience with Behave and/or Allure is a plus
Professional proficiency in English, both written and spoken
Hands-on experience testing systems combining software and hardware
Experience in industrial environments such as robotics, embedded systems, scientific instrumentation, photonics, semiconductor equipment, medical devices, automotive, aerospace or other complex hardware/software systems would be particularly relevant
Knowledge of quality standards such as IEC 61508 or ISO 9001 would be appreciated but is not mandatory
Ability to understand, test and troubleshoot hardware/software interactions and communication protocols
Ability to produce clear and structured technical documentation
Around 5 years of experience in software QA, system validation, verification & validation, test engineering or a similar role
Strong experience with test automation and scripting, ideally using Python
An interest in building and improving testing processes, rather than only executing existing test plans
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with attention to detail
Experience working within structured software development and QA processes, including requirements traceability, documented testing, defect management and release validation
An engineering degree or equivalent technical background is welcome, but we value relevant hands-on experience and demonstrated technical skills above all
