Software Testing, V&V and Integration Engineer for Counter-UAS Systems Development (m/w/d) all levels - #2082001

Your mission

As a Software Test Engineer, you will have a key role in shaping our system-level testing strategy for complex, hardware-integrated defense solutions. Working with multiple sensors—such as radar, cameras, and acoustic devices—and computing hardware, you’ll define what makes a valuable test and ensure coverage across unit, component, and system levels. You’ll drive the adoption of test-driven development, contribute to automated testing frameworks, and maintain clear documentation—all with the goal of continuously improving code quality and overall system performance.

Responsibilities

• Establish a test-driven development culture for C-UAS system development
• Implement unit, integration, and system-level tests for safety-critical C-UAS applications
• Define and implement test strategies for system development, ensuring comprehensive validation through planning and execution
• Develop and execute test plans for software interfacing with a diverse set of sensors, including radar, optical cameras, and acoustic devices.
• Contribute to and review C++ code in our high-performance, safety-critical stack.
• Create and maintain clear testing documentation and protocols to support certifications and audit readiness.
• Perform tests in collaboration with simulation engineers for C-UAS systems
• Work closely with software, AI, and embedded teams to optimize testing methodologies
  
  

Your profile

• 3+ years’ experience in testing software in complex, multi-sensor systems running across diverse computing platforms, with a strong focus on integration, performance.
• Experience with relevant testing frameworks as GoogleTest, Catch, etc.
• Expertise in test automation, and CI/CD pipelines
• Proficiency in C++, Python for collaborating with the engineering team on new features and relevant tests
• Familiarity with version control, test coverage analysis, and safety-critical testing methods
• Experience working with sensor data (radar, video, acoustic, or other modalities) is a plus.
• Strong documentation skills and a systematic mindset for quality and verification.
