Job description

Requisition ID 2653 - Posted - Denmark - Engineering / Software / R&D - Entry Level - Kongens Lyngby, Denmark; Struer, Denmark

Do you enjoy digging beneath the surface of Bluetooth, BLE, and Wi‑Fi technologies to uncover what others miss? Are you at your best when combining Python, software quality assurance, and automation to solve complex challenges?

Join us to raise the limits of our automation test capabilities, to extend Python- and Labgrid-based test framework we build ourselves and contribute to new ways of testing in an agile environment where opinions, ideas, and knowledge have no boundaries!

As an Automation QA Engineer with Wireless and RF‑protocols focus, you will join our QA Automation team in Kongens Lyngby or Struer, contributing to the development of automated testing solutions for our product systems, help ensure the quality and reliability of the experiences we create, and become our go‑to person for how connectivity is verified.

Key responsibilities

• Develop, maintain, and extend Python‑based automated test solutions using Labgrid and hardware‑in‑the‑loop environments to ensure test coverage, reliability, and scalability
• Design, execute, and maintain integration and system‑level verification tests for Bluetooth, BLE, WiFi, and LAN connectivity features across our embedded software platform
• Utilize knowledge of Software QA principles to perform requirements analysis, refine acceptance criteria, identify and help overcome testability constraints for software under development
• Build and maintain test infrastructure, including hardware test jigs, instrumentation, networking equipment, and CI/CD integrations using GitHub Actions and distributed test environments
• Investigate, reproduce, and root‑cause connectivity and communication issues using protocol analysis, packet captures, and RF‑level debugging, converting recurring findings into automated regression tests
• Collaborate closely with software development, manual QA, and customer validation teams throughout the product lifecycle, from early prototypes to final verification
• Provide transparency on test progress, quality metrics, KPIs, and system maturity through documentation, reporting, and stakeholder communication
• Act as the internal subject matter expert within wireless and Bluetooth connectivity testing while supporting continuous improvements to our testing capabilities and quality processes

What you bring

You are either recently graduated or have a few years of professional experience and are passionate about software quality and automation. You understand how wireless and Bluetooth connectivity works and you are curious enough to keep digging where it doesn't. You thrive in technically complex environments and enjoy transforming ambiguous requirements into structured, traceable, and effective test coverage.

Moreover, you bring:

• A relevant degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or similar, or equivalent practical experience.
• Experience with software development in Python or similar language focusing on writing clean, scalable, and well‑documented code
• Strong knowledge of Bluetooth, BLE, Wi‑Fi, networking protocols, and connectivity testing for embedded or connected products
• Experience designing integration and system‑level tests, ideally including hardware‑in‑the‑loop testing and automation frameworks
• Familiarity with modern software development practices and tools including Agile, DevOps, Git & GitHub, CI/CD tools like GitHub Actions, Docker, and infrastructure automation tools like Ansible
• Knowledge of software test management & reporting, shift‑left and continuous testing practices for systems engineering
• Strong collaboration and communication skills, curiosity for new technologies, and fluency in English

What we offer

You will be part of a team that values software testing activities and adheres to the highest best practices in developing and maintaining high‑quality automation tests for our latest product‑systems platform software. You will be working closely with enthusiastic and dedicated professionals, using latest tools and technologies to maintain and innovate our test automation ecosystem.

You can look forward to becoming an important member of our agile software development setup with sprints and daily stand‑ups.
