Senior Test Engineer

Be part of our growth and become our new Senior Test Engineer!

Your future ecosystem
You will be part of one of our three embedded teams in our Product Development Department. The team you will join consists of a Product Owner, Tech Lead, Project Manager and Embedded Developers. Together you will work on abstract protocols and modules with the goal of creating a strong interchangeable software platform for our Building Automation solutions.

Between Rotterdam and The Hague, you find the greenhouse capital of the world: “Het Westland”, where our campus is located in De Lier. In these 100 square kilometers, Priva was founded in the fifties and is still a family business.

Priva started as a hardware company and transformed into an innovative hardware and software company that grew to become the global market leader in horticulture and building automation. Today we are a high-tech company that develops hardware, software, and digital services in the field of climate control, energy-saving, and optimal reuse of water. We do this for horticulture, indoor and city farming, as well as utility buildings such as offices, retail, hotels, and hospitals.

Our next step is to conquer the digital domain and become a digital service provider, selling subscriptions to "climate as a service".

We are proud to be working with over 600 colleagues, in 16 international branch offices divided over 12 countries together with over 400 international installation partners to deliver our sustainable solutions and services in more than 100 countries.

How you add value

As a Senior Test Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the quality of our next-generation building automation controllers. Your expertise will help establish and execute structured testing processes that have not yet been implemented within the team. In this role, you will spend 50% of your time planning and prioritizing testing activities, including creating test plans and strategies, and the remaining 50% executing tests. You will design and perform system testing, end-to-end testing, and risk-based testing to ensure our products meet the highest quality standards. You will also work together with the QA Lead to develop and execute testing strategies, design test cases, implement solutions, analyze results, and enhance processes to ensure product quality.

You are responsible for setting up and maintaining test environments, and connecting sensors and hardware to simulate real-world scenarios. You will collaborate closely with developers and the other testers, providing clear feedback and challenging the product owner when needed. Additionally, you will work with nearshore teams to align on quality and testing goals. Together, the team maintains and improves existing systems already deployed at customer locations, ensuring reliability and user satisfaction.
