QA Embedded Engineer

For a fast-growing tech & defense startup, we are looking for a QA Embedded Engineer to join a team working on autonomous devices used in real, mission-critical environments.This role has a direct impact on product quality — from the concept phase, through testing, to production.

The position is hybrid (Warsaw) — on-site presence is required due to physical hardware testing.

Responsibilities:

• Full ownership of hardware quality — from concept to production (hardware, firmware, system integrations)

• Planning, creating, and maintaining test plans and quality reports

• Performing manual hardware and firmware testing, as well as collaborating on test automation where needed

• Cooperating with the production team to implement quality controls during manufacturing

• Identifying and implementing improvements in quality processes

• Acting as the main point of contact for hardware quality

• Close collaboration with hardware, software, and production teams

Requirements

• Minimum 1,5 year of experience as an Embedded QA Engineer, Hardware QA Engineer, or Hardware Engineer

• Experience in defense, military, IoT, or telco sectors

• Hands-on experience with measurement tools: oscilloscope, multimeter, caliper

• Strong understanding of QA principles, hardware testing, and real-time data

• Experience with Raspberry Pi, microcontrollers (ESP32, STM32, Nordic, Silabs, TI) and Linux environments

• Ability to diagnose communication issues (protocols and interfaces)

• Education or background in electronics or radio engineering, with the ability to read and understand electronic schematics

• Strong root cause analysis skills and ability to produce clear, structured reports

• Very good communication and teamwork skills, responsibility, and flexibility

Why Join?

• Work on a real, technologically advanced hardware product

• Significant impact on product quality and development direction

• Stable, long-term cooperation

• Collaboration with an experienced, multidisciplinary team
