• Perform testing activities and continuously communicate on quality and test results with stakeholders

• Analyse defects and align priorities with the Product Owner

• Support integration and system testing across multiple teams, together with the Test Lead and other Test Engineers

• Improve existing testing capabilities and processes within your development team

• Advocate for “Quality from day one”

What you bring

• Proven experience in creating test plans, test approaches, and prioritizing testing activities;

• Solid understanding of different approaches to test organization and testing methodologies (risk-based, BDD, TDD, testing pyramid etc)

• Test automation skills (ideally, Robot Framework) or Python scripting knowledge

• Experience with Linux-based environments

• Experience in the setup and configuration of test environments, including hardware and sensors

• Proven experience in testing embedded software and hardware systems is a big plus

Your Team & Tools

The Test Engineers work closely with embedded engineers responsible for C++ services on our embedded controller, including building-automation protocols (BACnet, Modbus, CAN, DALI, SMI) and critical system services such as firmware update, commissioning, grouping, networking, and time synchronization. The team validates system behavior across services, protocols, and control flows, and is also involved in building, maintaining, and debugging physical hardware setups to reproduce real-world building scenarios. The tech stack most used by the Test Engineers includes Python, Robot Framework, and protocol-specific tools to design and maintain automated test suites, while also performing manual and exploratory testing where automation is not sufficient. The team’s purpose is to ensure correctness, reliability, and predictable behavior of the platform in field deployments, catching integration and system-level issues early and safeguarding the stability of customer installations.
