Jobbeschreibung

As part of our growing Test & Integration team, we are building the next generation of automated verification environments to ensure the quality and reliability of our software and UAV platforms.

As a Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) Test Engineer, you will play a key role in designing, developing, and maintaining HIL test benches for our UAV platforms. You will work closely with software, hardware, systems, and flight test engineers to enable efficient verification throughout the development lifecycle. Beyond HIL development, you will contribute to the automation of software and integration testing, helping us build robust Continuous Integration and Continuous Testing pipelines.

By ensuring an efficient verification environment, you will support the company in its mission to become the leader for aerial data collection solutions with unmanned aerial systems (sUAV).

What is your Day to Day Mission:

• Design, develop, and maintain Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) test environments for Quantum Systems UAVs.
• Integrate avionics hardware, sensors, actuators, communication interfaces, and simulation models into HIL benches.
• Develop automated test suites for system, software, and hardware/software integration testing.
• Implement and maintain automated test frameworks using Robot Framework and Python.
• Develop simulation components, hardware interfaces, and test scripts to enable realistic system verification.
• Integrate automated HIL testing into CI/CD pipelines.
• Analyze test results, investigate failures, and support root cause analysis.
• Collaborate closely with Embedded Software, Systems Engineering, Electronics, Flight Test, and Certification teams.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of verification processes and testing infrastructure.
• Support the definition of test strategies and verification concepts for new UAV platforms.

What you bring to the team:

• A successfully completed degree in electrical engineering, computer science, or a comparable qualification (e.g., ISTQB certification).
• At least 3+ years of experience developing or operating Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) systems.
• Strong programming skills in Python.
• Experience with Robot Framework or other automated testing frameworks.
• Good understanding of embedded systems and real-time software.
• Experience with communication protocols such as CAN, Ethernet, UART, SPI, or I²C.
• Experience using GitHub and modern software development workflows.
• Strong analytical and debugging skills.
• Experience with DO-178C is advantageous.
• Strong written and verbal English communication skills.
• Proactive, organized and a team player mindset.
• Ability to balance multiple assignments.

Our benefits:

• Company pension scheme.
• Flexible working hours: With trust-based working hours, you are not only responsible for your working hours, but also for your work-life balance.
• Mobile Work: option to work remotely one flexible day per week.
• Stay active: With EGYM Wellpass, you get access to thousands of fitness and sports facilities—and of course, we subsidize the membership.
• Bike-Leasing: We support you in staying environmentally mobile and healthy.
• Corporate Benefits: Opportunity for attractive offers and discounts from well-known suppliers and brands, e.g. Adidas, Apple, Expedia.
• Employee events: We celebrate successes together.
• Lunch-Card: daily lunch budget is sponsored.
• Company Shuttle: convenient shuttle service that picks you up from Laim in Munich and brings you to our location, with return trips at the end of the workday.
