Senior QA Engineer

Join us in solving one of industrial robotics' toughest challenges

R3 Robotics is developing the AI-powered dismantling platform that transforms end-of-life electric vehicle systems into strategic sources of critical materials. As global electrification accelerates, the surge in batteries and e-motors requires automated solutions that manual disassembly cannot provide. We are addressing this industrial bottleneck by enabling the automated dismantling of complex systems at scale through computer vision, artificial intelligence, and specialized robotic tooling.

Following a successful €20M Series A funding round led by HG Ventures and Suma Capital, we are expanding across Europe and preparing for our entry into the United States market in 2026. We partner with major industrial recyclers and automotive OEMs to deliver measurable impact. If you seek to work on advanced robotics within a well-funded organization scaling internationally, this is your opportunity

We are looking for a highly skilled Senior QA Engineer to take full ownership of our testing stack, ensuring high-quality software and hardware releases. This role requires expertise in both manual and automated testing, along with a proactive approach to optimizing our QA processes. The ideal candidate is a quick learner, takes ownership of new tools and technologies, and continuously drives improvements in testing methodologies.

In addition to software testing, we work with robots (KUKA, ABB) and PLCs (Beckhoff). While prior experience with these systems is a plus, it is not required, what matters most is your ability to learn quickly and adapt to new tools. 

• Oversee and manage the entire QA process, from integration testing to release validation and factory acceptance tests.
• Design, implement, and execute comprehensive test plans, including both automated and manual test cases.
• Enhance the testing stack by integrating modern tools and best practices.
• Collaborate with Engineers, Product Managers, and other stakeholders to define and maintain quality standards.
• Lead the development and maintenance of automated testing frameworks, primarily using Python.
• Conduct end-to-end, regression, and exploratory testing as needed.
• Continuously improve testing processes and frameworks to increase efficiency and effectiveness.
• Quickly learn and take ownership of new testing tools and technologies, including those related to robotics and PLCs.
• Document testing processes, identify gaps in existing documentation, and ensure clarity and consistency across QA workflows.
• Stay updated on emerging testing tools, trends, and best practices to drive innovation in QA.

• Proven experience as a QA Engineer.
• Strong understanding of software and hardware testing methodologies, tools, and processes.
• Great autonomy. You should understand business requirements and define the process.
• Proficiency in automated testing frameworks and scripting languages, with a strong focus on Python (e.g., PyTest, Selenium, Robot Framework).
• Hands-on experience with test management tools (e.g., TestRail, Zephyr, Qase).
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and experience integrating testing into the development workflow.
• Strong analytical skills to assess complex systems and design effective test strategies.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
• Strong documentation skills, with the ability to clearly define testing processes and identify gaps in existing documentation.

• Experience with robotic systems (KUKA, ABB, UR) and PLCs (Beckhoff), ROS2.
• Experience with ROS2 and other robotics middleware
• Experience in an industrial automation domain – familiarity with overall equipment efficiency and factory acceptance testing

• High degree of collaboration and autonomy while working with a group of highly skilled, committed and supportive peers
• Transparent culture where everyone of us is highly valued
• Development of your professional skills and knowledge by taking ownership of challenging tasks and responsibilities, supported by Leads and peers
• “Getting things done” attitude, and access to cutting edge technologies
• A guaranteed steep continuous learning curve from day one
• Complementary Health Insurance
