You would be playing a crucial role at the intersection of AI and physical robotics, building the safety protocols that allow advanced technology to move from the lab into the real world. It’s an ideal spot if you enjoy high-stakes testing, thrive on building complex systems from scratch, and want to shape how autonomous machines interact with unpredictable environments.
Job description
The Opportunity We’re looking for a Senior QA Engineer to build and own the testing backbone that enables safe, high-velocity development of AI systems operating in the physical world.
You will design and run the systems that ensure our AI and robotics stack is reliable, safe, and production-ready. In this role, you act as the control layer between rapid AI development and real-world deployment, ensuring systems remain stable and trustworthy in unpredictable environments.
Your Responsibilities Own and continuously improve the CI/CD pipeline, enabling automated and confident deployments of software and models
Monitor test outcomes and evaluation reports to drive system quality and stability
Design and implement hardware-in-the-loop testing in collaboration with engineering teams
Define and scale human-in-the-loop QA processes with operations for model validation
Build simulation-based regression tests with ML and simulation teams using physics-based environments
Write and maintain comprehensive test strategies and plans across software, models, and field deployments
Take ownership of the overall testing infrastructure end-to-end
Technologies Python
Linux
Testing frameworks
CI/CD pipelines
Containerization
Git
AI and robotics systems (general stack awareness)
ROS and simulators (nice to have)
C++
Must Have
MSc or PhD in a relevant technical field
5+ years of experience in QA, Test Engineering, or Systems Integration for complex hardware-software systems (ideally robotics or similar domains)
Proven track record in industries like robotics, autonomous systems, aerospace, automotive, medical devices, or advanced industrial automation
Strong experience with non-deterministic / probabilistic systems and real-world validation challenges
Expertise in building and scaling automated testing infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines
Advanced technical stack: Python, Linux, testing frameworks, containerization, and version control (Git)
Experience mentoring engineers or contributing to technical leadership and team growth
Nice to Have
Solid understanding of AI and robotics systems
Experience with ROS, simulators, or C++
Exposure to simulation-based testing or hardware-in-the-loop systems
Recruiting Process Your recruiting partner for this role is Madhulika (she/her). You can expect a screening interview, two technical interviews, and an onsite visit to our office in Munich to meet the team.
Benefits Competitive compensation package
Various employee subsidies and perks, including public transportation and wellness support
Work with a world-class team in a flat hierarchy, with direct collaboration alongside the founders and engineering team
