Job Description

Product Test Engineer – Embedded Systems | Sydney | up to $120,000 + super

I placed a test engineer at this company seven years ago. He's now Leading the team. If you're looking for similar progression, it's on offer here. 

You'll also do it in one of Sydney's more stable engineering teams, I've placed 12 people here over 7 years, 10 are still there building physical products sold in 70+ countries.

Why people stay:

  • Genuine flexibility. No clock-watching, no justifying your day. Late starts, early finish, whatever works for you. 
  • A hiring manager who develops people, not just manages them. 
  • Variety. Engineers move across product lines and pick up new disciplines as they go.

They're now hiring two more Test Engineers.

You'll test embedded firmware and connected products on real hardware. From prototype through to production. Serial, Wi-Fi, BLE, MQTT. Pytest-driven automation. CI pipelines. Debugging failures that span firmware, fixtures and hardware behaviour.

You'll need:

  • Strong Python, ideally with pytest or similar.
  • Experience testing physical or connected devices, not just software.
  • Comfort with Git, Jira, and CI/CD tools like Jenkins.

You could be a recent grad or a few years in. What matters is you've tested something you can hold in your hand, not just something running in a browser.

Sydney-based only.

Interested? Send me your CV, or just message me if you want to know more first, happy to talk it through before you decide anything.
