About the role

• We’re hiring a QA Engineer based in either our Enschede or Belfast office, to ensure our next‑generation video dashcam platform delivers reliable, high‑performance AI features that bring real‑world value to fleet operators and drivers.
• This role is 3 days/week on-site, non-negotiable. This is a hands-on-hardware role, and hands-on-hardware roles need hands in the room. Remote or fully remote arrangements are not available for his position.
• For UK based roles applicants must have the legal right to work at the time of application. We are unable to offer sponsorship for this role.

What you'll do

You'll build and grow the test automation systems that validate our AI products before they ever reach the field. Requirements come in. You figure out what components make it real. You wire it up. You write the code that ties it all together and plugs it into our test simulator.

Design it. Build it. Ship it. Do it right.

Where hardware meets AI. Where code meets solder.

We're not looking for someone who just writes code. We're looking for someone who builds things. Who takes a pile of components, a rough idea, and a soldering iron, and turns it into a working system.

This is where test automation meets AI. This is where prototypes get built, broken, and rebuilt better.

What you'll bring

• Real electrical skills: soldering, prototyping, building from scratch.
• A genuine hacker/maker mentality: curious, resourceful, allergic to "that's not possible".
• The instinct to take a vague requirement and turn it into a working solution, end to end.

Qualifications

Required

• Bachelor’s or Master’s in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronic & Systems Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).
• 5+ years experience in embedded/IoT development. You've shipped things, not just prototyped them.
• Strong chops in Python, Linux, Git, the everyday toolkit.
• Solid software engineering discipline: clean code, sensible architecture, tests that actually mean something.
• Comfortable with code reviews, giving and receiving them, and making the codebase better through them.
• CI/CD know-how. You build pipelines, not just push code and hope.
• You work well as part of a team. This isn't a lone-wolf role, it's a build-together role.

Preferred

• Familiarity with ADAS/DMS systems or vehicle telematics.
• Experience with pytest or a similar test framework, and with Git version control.
• Experience using AI coding assistants in an engineering workflow, with a clear approach to reviewing and validating their output.
• Linux command line and Android/ADB experience.
• Fixture design experience, e.g. CAD, harness drawings, 3D printing.
• Experience with video classification or annotation tools.
• Familiarity with test tools such as CAN analysers, GPS simulators or diagnostic readers.
• Experience working with dashcams, vehicle sensors or automotive accessories.
