Descrizione del lavoro

Cyberwave is seeking a mid-to-senior QA Engineer to own quality across robotics infrastructure, web apps, APIs, and edge software. You will design test plans, validate hardware-in-the-loop workflows with real robots, simulations, and telemetry, and help ensure reliable operation from devices to cloud services.

This role is Milan-based with access to robotics hardware and labs. You will work with engineering, product, and deployment teams to raise quality, test comprehensively, and report

Competenze

• 3+ years in QA, test engineering, robotics engineering, automation, or systems integration.
• Hands-on robotics/automation testing across real hardware and software.
• Experience with ROS or ROS 2, validating nodes, topics, services, and logs.
• Experience with drones, AGVs/AMRs, robotic arms, sensors, or PLCs.
• Ability to write clear test plans, bug reports, and release-readiness checks.
• Comfort with Git, Docker, CLI, APIs, logs, and scripting in Python or TypeScript.
• Able to debug ambiguous failures across software, networks, edge devices, and hardware.
• Proficient English in a fast-moving, international environment.

Mansioni

Own quality assurance for Cyberwave's robotics infrastructure and products. Design test plans, validate real hardware integrations, and help ensure our platform works reliably across robots, edge devices, simulations, and customer deployments.

Cyberwave is building the infrastructure layer for intelligent machines - making robotics as accessible, scalable, and programmable as cloud software. Our platform connects real robots, simulations, edge devices, cloud services, and developer tools into one reliable operating layer for robotics teams.

We're looking for a mid-to-senior QA Engineer with hands-on robotics or automation experience to help us test Cyberwave from end to end. You'll validate the infrastructure and product surface across web apps, backend APIs, SDKs, edge software, telemetry streams, simulations, and physical robots. This is not a purely manual web QA role: we need someone comfortable debugging real systems, writing repeatable test plans, and turning messy hardware-in-the-loop behavior into clear, reproducible reports.

You'll work closely with engineering, product, and deployment teams to raise the quality bar before features reach customers. We especially value experience testing systems that involve ROS or ROS 2, drones, AGVs/AMRs, robotic arms, sensors, cameras, PLCs, or other industrial automation equipment.

This is a mid-to-senior role based in Milan, with regular access to real robots and automation hardware.

Robotics QA: Hardware-in-the-loop Testing, ROS / ROS 2, Drones, AGVs / AMRs, Industrial Automation, Test Planning, Python Scripting, APIs & Logs, Edge Devices

Work Style

Hands-on QA for robotics infrastructure and products based in Milan

Requirements

• 3+ years of QA, test engineering, robotics engineering, automation engineering, or systems integration experience
• Hands-on experience testing robotics, industrial automation, autonomous systems, or hardware-in-the-loop products
• Specific experience with ROS or ROS 2, including validating nodes, topics, services, launch files, logs, and robot behavior
• Experience with at least one class of real robotic or automation hardware, such as drones, AGVs/AMRs, robotic arms, mobile robots, cameras, sensors, PLCs, or industrial controllers
• Ability to create clear test plans, bug reports, reproduction steps, acceptance criteria, and release-readiness checks
• Comfort using developer tools such as Git, Docker, command-line utilities, APIs, logs, and basic scripting in Python or TypeScript
• Comfort debugging ambiguous failures across software, networking, edge devices, and physical hardware
• Comfortable working in English in an international, fast-moving environment

Responsibilities

• Design and execute test plans for Cyberwave infrastructure, frontend products, backend APIs, edge software, SDKs, and robotics integrations
• Validate hardware-in-the-loop workflows using real robots, simulations, telemetry streams, and edge devices
• Test integrations involving ROS, ROS 2, drones, AGVs/AMRs, robotic arms, sensors, cameras, and industrial automation equipment
• Build repeatable regression checks for core product flows, including setup, pairing, telemetry, control, simulation, deployment, and monitoring
• Investigate failures across logs, network traces, robot behavior, UI state, and backend responses, then produce actionable bug reports
• Collaborate with engineering and product to define acceptance criteria and release gates for new robotics capabilities
• Help improve QA infrastructure, test data, device labs, and documentation so the team can move faster with confidence

What We Offer

• Work directly with real robots, edge devices, and customer-facing automation workflows
• Own quality for infrastructure that connects robotics software to physical deployments
• Competitive compensation and meaningful equity
• Join a high-talent team of repeat founders, ex-Google engineers, and PhDs
• In-person collaboration in Milan with access to robotics hardware and automation labs
