Job description

At ASSA ABLOY you will lead the system and functional testing of ARX, a Scandinavian security system combining software and hardware in environments where quality, reliability, and performance are critical.

If you enjoy combining test leadership with hands-on system testing, improving automation, and working closely with developers and technical stakeholders — this role will likely resonate.

Why this role matters

For a security system, every part of the solution needs to work together reliably. As System Test Team Lead, you’ll help ensure new features and system behavior meet the standards expected by customers, while contributing to the quality of a solution that connects software with real-world security hardware.

The role

This is a hands-on leadership role where you’ll lead an experienced team while staying close to the technology yourself. You’ll set priorities, support and develop the team, and spend part of your time running system and functional tests across the ARX solution.

You’ll also influence how testing evolves, working closely with developers and other stakeholders to improve QA practices, automation and ways of working.

What you’ll work on

• Lead and mentor a team of testers, planning and distributing testing activities
• Plan, prioritize and execute system and functional testing for new features and system behavior.
• Run manual and automated tests across software and hardware-based test environments, system that consists of a Client/Server, Distributed Control Units, Readers, and Motor-locks.
• Improve test automation, processes and methodologies using Python, Selenium and Robot Framework.
• Troubleshoot issues and defects, working closely with developers and other stakeholders.
• Perform functional, performance, stress and reliability testing across the complete system.

What will help you succeed

• Proven experience leading a test team, combined with solid experience in system and software testing
• Hands‑on experience with manual and automated testing, ideally with Python, Selenium and Robot Framework
• Strong leadership and communication skills, with the ability to engage confidently with your team, developers and other stakeholders
• A structured, analytical and proactive approach, with the curiosity to learn a complex product and the initiative to improve how things are done
• Fluent English and the ability to communicate effectively across technical and non‑technical stakeholders

Nice to have:

Experience with hardware‑based test environments, Java, Embedded C, access control or security products, experience using AI tools to support test development and automation, and Swedish language skills.

Why ASSA ABLOY

Take ownership of an experienced test team while staying technically involved in a complex security product and having the freedom to influence how testing evolves.

• Meaningful mission — Contribute to security technology that needs to perform reliably in real‑world access environments
• Innovation & scale — Work across software, hardware and automation within a global access solutions business
• Autonomy & trust — Shape priorities, ways of working and continuous improvement within your area of responsibility
• Growth & development — Expand your expertise across system testing, automation and technical leadership
• Work–life balance — Combine hybrid working with regular access to the Stockholm lab in a collaborative Scandinavian work culture
