Senior Verification Engineer Engineering Dresden, Germany

Stellenbeschreibung:

We do not accept unsolicited profiles from recruiters or staffing agencies.

Xneural develops next-generation airspace surveillance systems thatprotect civil and critical infrastructure, based on distributed radar sensorsand cloud-based AI perception. Our mission is to make the lower airspacevisible through Drone Detection as a Service deployed on existingtelecommunications infrastructure.

We are building a highly scalable radar perception platform capable ofdetecting, tracking, and classifying airborne objects in complexreal-world environments.

Role Overview

You will lead verification of our radar sensor nodes, cloud backend, and operator web frontend.The backend ingests and distributes sensor data. You will define release acceptance criteria,build automated tests, and reproduce failures found during testing and operation.You will work with the radar firmware and embedded Linux teams on hardware-in-the-loop andfield testing, with the backend team on integration, load, and failure-injection testing,and with the frontend team on end-to-end tests of operator workflows.

Key Responsibilities

Define the verification strategy for sensor firmware, embedded Linux, cloud backend, and webfrontend, and the acceptance criteria each release has to meet
Build and maintain hardware-in-the-loop test benches for the sensor nodes, including radar targetsimulation and replay of recorded measurements
Plan and run lab and field tests of detection, tracking, and classification against groundtruth, and turn the recordings into regression datasets
Build integration, load, and soak tests for the backend, and verify its behaviour under nodeloss, network partitions, and backpressure
Build end-to-end and visual regression tests for the operator frontend
Run firmware, backend, and frontend tests automatically in CI on every merge
Define defect tracking, triage, and release qualification procedures, and maintain test resultsand reports for customers and certification
Develop verification procedures with the engineering team and mentor engineers in their use

Required Qualifications

7+ years of hands-on verification, test engineering, or QA experience for products combininghardware and software (a degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, ComputerScience, Physics, or a related field is welcome, though equivalent practical experience countsjust as much)
Hands-on experience building test automation and test infrastructure
Strong Python skills, plus working knowledge of other languages such as C, C++, or Rust
Experience verifying embedded devices on real hardware, including test benches, instrumentcontrol, and analysis of measurement data
Experience with integration testing, load testing, and fault injection for distributed backendsystems
Experience with end-to-end testing of web applications using Playwright, Cypress, or similar
Experience with Git and CI/CD, and with keeping test suites fast and reliable
Ability to write clear, reproducible defect reports and verification documentation

Nice to Have

Experience verifying radar, RF, or other sensor systems, including signal processing chains
Experience with target simulation, HIL frameworks, or record-and-replay test rigs
Experience testing ML-based perception systems and evaluating them against ground truth
Experience with TypeScript and modern frontend frameworks
Experience with observability stacks such as Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry
Familiarity with safety, security, or airspace-related standards and their testing anddocumentation requirements
Experience with laboratory instruments such as oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and signalgenerators
Contributions to open-source test tooling
German language skills are beneficial but not required
