Why this role matters:
- Lead the testing function for next-generation Radiodetection products, from concept to volume manufacture.
- Influence testing strategy and best practices across hardware, embedded firmware, mobile apps, and cloud services.
- Work closely with New Product Development and software teams to ensure high-quality, reliable product delivery.
- Transform the testing function into a benchmark for excellence and innovation.
What you'll be doing:
- Own end-to-end testing deliverables for integrated systems, including hardware, embedded firmware, mobile apps, and cloud services.

- Collaborate in an Agile environment with cross-functional teams, following two-week sprints.
Who we're looking for:
- Hands-on experience in hardware testing and IoT systems, including embedded and connected devices.
- Strong system-level understanding; candidates with purely software backgrounds will not be considered.
- Exposure to functional and regression testing, with interest in expanding automation capabilities.
- Familiarity or interest in AI-assisted testing, though not essential.
- Experience creating end-to-end test plans, reports, and traceable records.
- Understanding of V-model testing, CI/CD pipelines, and quality assurance methodologies (DOE, FEMA, DFSS).
