Test & Automation / Test Development Engineer
Qblox · Delft
What you will do
You'll join our Test & Automation Engineering team, which owns test strategy at Qblox — defining what we test, how we test it, and the quality bar for everything that ships — with input from hardware, firmware, software, and quality teams. The team also lends its automation expertise to adjacent efforts like characterization workflows and production setups, owned by other teams.
This is a software engineering role with a strong hardware sensibility. You'll spend most of your time writing Python and designing test frameworks, but you'll also be in the lab — building physical setups and working through problems that cross the hardware/software boundary. You don't need to be an RF or hardware engineer, but you should be comfortable reading a datasheet, holding a probe, and reasoning about what a measurement is actually telling you.
Note: a physics or quantum computing background is nice to have, but not required.
What you will do
Shape and execute our test strategy across hardware and software
Design, build, and maintain automated test setups, including the selection and integration of T&M equipment
Bring your automation expertise to adjacent efforts like characterization and production
Write robust, maintainable Python code using OpenTAP and Robot Framework
Improve test coverage, reliability, and execution speed across our test suites
Debug issues that span instrumentation, hardware, firmware, and software
Participate in code reviews and help raise the engineering standard within the team
