Senior QA Engineer, Defence Bespoke

Do you enjoy breaking things before they break in the real world? As Senior QA Engineer in our Bespoke team in Aarhus, you will test complex hardware and system integrations for defence software - and have real influence on how we make sure it works when it counts.

The job

In this role, you'll help deliver high-quality, customised add-ons, integrations and extensions for Systematic's defence product suite. You'll work across several projects at the same time, driving, planning and executing quality assurance while bringing risk-based thinking and testing expertise to each team. By ensuring a shift-left approach, you'll help us catch issues early, before they become costly. As one of our gatekeepers of high quality, you'll be able to influence and improve processes, test strategies and our approach to how we test.

In short, you can look forward to:

• Applying and maintaining the test process, define test strategies, write and review test cases and define test plans across projects
• Executing functional, integration, hardware-related and regression tests
• Contributing to the validation of hardware integrations such as sensors, radio interfaces and external systems
• Sharing knowledge through mentoring, workshops and coaching on test design and techniques

Joining the team

You will join the Bespoke Applications team: 18 developers, architects and a main tester, spread across Denmark and Poland. Together, we deliver software and hardware integrations - from sensor interfaces and radio drivers to interoperability with external systems - so that our customers get exactly the functionality they need, built to last.

You will work closely with fellow developers, architects, testers and project management, and with hardware partners and external system providers. We value open collaboration, sharing what we learn and speaking up with ideas for how we can improve our code, tooling and processes.

We already use AI in our daily work and want to explore it even further. Working in defence comes with limitations, but we do everything we are allowed to - and we need colleagues who are curious to join us on that journey.

• Minimum a bachelor's degree in engineering, Computer Science, Software Technology or similar
• Two to five years of experience in software and/or systems testing, working in a structured environment with multiple team members, including test management and test design methods
• Experience driving test frameworks and test tools
• Familiarity with integrations, APIs, protocols and hardware validation setups
• Experience with tools such as JUnit, Playwright, Jira, Xray, Karma and TeamCity or similar
• ISTQB foundation certificate is preferred

On a personal level, you:

• Have strong analytical abilities and think in terms of risk
• Work proactively and independently, and thrive in a team
• Build good relationships and collaborate effectively with stakeholders
• Are passionate about customer needs and how our systems are used
• Share information proactively and help others learn through mentoring and workshops
• Are curious about AI and eager to explore how it can help us work smarter within the boundaries of defence

The role includes occasional travel of approximately 2-10 days per year, mostly within Europe.

Please note

that you must be able to present a clean criminal record and have lived in a NATO and/or an EU country for the past seven years as we work with security-classified projects. Read more here .
