We are seeking an energetic and detail-oriented QA Engineer to join our team. In this role, you will be responsible for testing both software and hardware components, ensuring our products meet high-quality standards. The position requires strong manual testing skills, along with some experience in automation, and the ability to perform on-site testing using drones and various sensors.

What you will do:

• Develop and maintain comprehensive test plans, test cases, and test documentation;
• Execute tests on desktop applications to ensure they meet functional and performance requirements;
• Conduct field testing using drones and sensors (e.g., methane detector, magnetometer, echo sounder, GPR etc) to validate hardware-software integration;
• Collaborate closely with developers and engineers to identify, log, and track defects using tools like JIRA;
• Perform integration testing for systems combining software and hardware components;
• Create and run automated tests to support continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) practices;
• Provide clear and concise test reports and document test results to support product development;
• Analyze system performance and identify potential bottlenecks or vulnerabilities;
• Develop and execute test cases for embedded systems and low-level hardware-software interactions;
• Assist in the design and implementation of test environments for complex system setups.

• A degree in a technical field such as Engineering, Computer Science, Information Technology or a related discipline;
• Hands-on experience testing complex systems involving both software and hardware components;
• Strong understanding of testing methodologies, defect tracking, and quality assurance processes;
• Ability to work with large volumes of data: to find, aggregate, structure, and prepare for testing purposes
• Proficiency in using tools such as JIRA for task and defect management;
• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities with the capacity to translate customer requirements into actionable test scenarios;
• English proficiency at C1 level or above; additional language skills are a plus;

Would Be a Big Advantage

• Knowledge of drones or other robotic systems;
• Hands-on experience with test automation tools (e.g., Selenium, Appium) and frameworks;
• Familiarity with testing embedded software/systems, particularly real-time control systems;
• Experience with data-driven testing approaches for sensor-based systems.
• Exposure to hardware debugging tools (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, etc.).

We offer:

• Salary from 2,500 EUR gross + performance-based bonus;
• Advanced professional and career growth opportunities;
• Work in an international company within a hype industry featuring state-of-the-art products and significant international growth potential over the next five years;
