Qa Engineer, Robotics & Automation
Pubblicato il 01-08-2026 - Cyberwave in Italia
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.Requirements3+ years of QA, test engineering, robotics engineering, automation engineering, or systems integration experienceHands-on experience testing robotics, industrial automation, autonomous systems, or hardware-in-the-loop productsSpecific experience with ROS or ROS 2, including validating nodes, topics, services, launch files, logs, and robot behaviorExperience 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 controllersAbility to create clear test plans, bug reports, reproduction steps, acceptance criteria, and release-readiness checksComfort using developer tools such as Git, Docker, command-line utilities, APIs, logs, and basic scripting in Python or TypeScriptComfort debugging ambiguous failures across software, networking, edge devices, and physical hardwareComfortable working in English in an international, fast-moving environmentResponsibilitiesDesign and execute test plans for Cyberwave infrastructure, frontend products, backend APIs, edge software, SDKs, and robotics integrationsValidate hardware-in-the-loop workflows using real robots, simulations, telemetry streams, and edge devicesTest integrations involving ROS, ROS 2, drones, AGVs/AMRs, robotic arms, sensors, cameras, and industrial automation equipmentBuild repeatable regression checks for core product flows, including setup, pairing, telemetry, control, simulation, deployment, and monitoringInvestigate failures across logs, network traces, robot behavior, UI state, and backend responses, then produce actionable bug reportsCollaborate with engineering and product to define acceptance criteria and release gates for new robotics capabilitiesHelp improve QA infrastructure, test data, device labs, and documentation so the team can move faster with confidenceWhat we offerESOP (shares)Competitive total compensation and other benefitsRAL starting at 50k EURWork directly with real robots, edge devices, and customer-facing automation workflowsOwn quality for infrastructure that connects robotics software to physical deploymentsCompetitive compensation and meaningful equityJoin a high-talent team of repeat founders, ex-Google engineers, and PhDsIn-person collaboration in Milan with access to robotics hardware and automation labs
