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.
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 xlwpduy 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
