Job summary

Quandela, a global leader in quantum computing, is seeking a Software & Hardware Integration QA Engineer in Massy, France. You will validate software-to-hardware interfaces, design and automate end-to-end tests, and ensure reliable operation of photon sources, laser control and related components.

You will build automated tests with Python and Behave, contribute to CI pipelines, document results, and help shape industrial-grade validation processes as production scales.

Qualifications

• Around 5 years of experience in software QA, system validation, verification & validation, test engineering or a similar role.
• Hands-on experience testing systems combining software and hardware.
• Experience with automated testing frameworks and reporting tools; experience with Behave and/or Allure is a plus.

• Validate complete workflows, from software interfaces and commands to their execution by physical equipment.
• Test and troubleshoot communication between software and hardware through interfaces and protocols such as Ethernet and serial connections.
• Develop and maintain automated tests and test tools using Python and testing frameworks such as Behave, with reporting tools such as Allure.
• Integrate automated testing into continuous integration pipelines where relevant.
• Reproduce, document and track defects through resolution, verify fixes and assess regression risks.
• Maintain clear traceability between requirements, test cases, defects and test results.
• Produce test reports, quality metrics and technical documentation to support validation and release decisions.
• Help define and continuously improve industrial-grade validation processes , test procedures and quality practices.
• Build reusable and scalable testing methods to support the progressive ramp-up of Quandela’s quantum computing systems.
• Collaborate closely with software, hardware, systems and industrialization engineers to improve overall product quality.
