Software QA Engineer II

Meyandy LLC; Kassel; Hybrid; EUR 65.000 - 90.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

Axon in Kassel, Germany is seeking a test-focused engineer to own the RF sensor software verification from design through release. You will build automated and manual tests, work with RF engineering, and ensure real-world validation across sensors and hardware.

This hybrid role requires a degree in engineering or CS, 3+ years of hardware-tied software testing, and hands-on automation with Python pytest. You’ll mentor interns and contribute to test tooling and documentation.

Qualifikationen

• Degree or vocational qualification in electrical engineering, CS, or embedded systems.
• 3+ years of experience testing software that runs on hardware or with hardware.
• Experience with RF, embedded systems, or hardware-integrated sensors.
• Hands-on automation testing tooling, ideally with Python pytest.

Aufgaben

• Own the test strategy and verification approach for RF sensor software from design through release.
• Design and implement test strategies for feature, regression, integration, and field validation.
• Develop in-depth functional tests for RF sensor software components and maintainability.
• Reproduce, isolate, and document issues with real hardware and test environments.
• Build and maintain hardware-backed automated regression tests and supporting tooling.
• Monitor and improve test systems and hardware to keep environments stable.
• Collaborate with RF Engineering and verify behavior across system interfaces.
• Document test results and defects clearly; contribute to design reviews and post-mortems.
• Share knowledge, mentor interns, and support peer reviews and onboarding.
• Leverage approved AI tools to design tests, analyze results, and draft docs with quality controls.

Jobbeschreibung

Join Axon and be a Force for Good.

At Axon, we’re on a mission to Protect Life. We’re explorers, pursuing society’s most critical safety and justice issues with our ecosystem of devices and cloud software. Like our products, we work better together. We connect with candor and care, seeking out diverse perspectives from our customers, communities and each other.

Life at Axon is fast-paced, challenging and meaningful. Here, you’ll take ownership and drive real change. Constantly grow as you work hard for a mission that matters at a company where you matter.

Your Impact

Axon’s RF sensors detect and locate drones so public safety and critical infrastructure teams can protect airspace. You will own the test strategy and independent verification approach for RF sensor capabilities — spanning regression, integration, and real-world validation — so those systems are trustworthy in the lab and in the field. You will work closely with RF Engineering at the intersection of software, hardware, and real-world RF, helping turn technical evidence into confident product decisions.

Work Location: This role is based out of our Kassel, Germany office and follows a hybrid schedule. We rely on in-person collaboration and ask that team members work onsite Tuesdays through Fridays, with the flexibility to work remotely on Mondays, unless there is an approved workplace accommodation. We believe that connection fuels innovation, and our in-office culture is designed to foster meaningful teamwork, mentorship, and shared success.

What You’ll Do

• Own the test strategy and independent verification approach for RF sensor software from design through release, adding rigor through regression, integration, and real-world validation.
• Design and own test strategies spanning feature, regression, integration / interface, system, and field validation. Combine automated coverage with targeted manual validation based on risk and technical feasibility.
• Develop in-depth functional tests for individual components of the RF sensor software, and keep those tests maintainable as the product evolves.
• Reproduce, isolate, and characterize issues on real sensor hardware and in test environments; capture clear reproduction steps, logs, and environment details.
• Build and maintain hardware-backed automated regression tests and supporting test tooling.
• Monitor and improve development and test systems and test hardware so environments stay stable, observable, and ready for daily use.
• Partner closely with RF Engineering and independently verify behavior in realistic environments and across system interfaces. Execute system, release, field, and acceptance testing with release stakeholders.
• Document test results and defects clearly, and contribute to software design reviews and after-action reviews for the work you own.
• Share knowledge with the wider team, give actionable feedback, and support newer engineers and interns through pairing, reviews, and onboarding.
• Use approved agentic AI tools regularly to design tests, analyze results, and draft documentation and review AI output against quality, security, and performance standards before you rely on it.

What You Bring

• A degree or vocational qualification in electrical engineering, computer science, embedded systems, or a related field
• 3+ years of experience testing software that runs on or with hardware (embedded products, devices, sensors, or similar systems), including independently owning the test and quality approach for that work.
• Experience with RF, embedded, sensor, or similarly hardware-integrated systems, with the technical aptitude and curiosity to develop deep expertise in RF sensor technologies.
• Hands‑on experience building and maintaining automated tests or test tooling, ideally in Python pytest, with the ability to …
