Validation/QA Engineer

Company

NestAI is Europe’s fastest-growing physical AI lab. We build open, sovereign, and reliable autonomous systems and AI-enabled command capabilities for real-world operations — environments where reliability isn’t optional.

Our work spans defence, security, and other mission-critical domains where systems must earn trust through performance, not promises. At the core of what we build is an open, modular, and interoperable AI command foundation that integrates data from multiple sources — from UAV sensors and edge devices to situational intelligence platforms — and turns it into decision support and operational capability.

Rooted in Nordic engineering heritage, we focus on openness, reliability, and systems that earn trust through performance. We work with intent, iterate fast, and build technology that protects what matters most.

Role Description

• Design and develop our validation approach in an AI augmented developer environment. 
• Create quality assurance solutions for an end to end system of autonomous edge devices that connect to mobile applications and cloud infrastructure. 
• Collaborate with our developers to create a robust validation environment that integrates quality requirements with development driven validation. 
• Connecting automated end to end system testing with field testing of edge devices..
• Creating adaptive and lightweight quality solutions with relevant metrics.

Qualifications

• MSc (or equivalent professional experience) in Computer Science or related field.
• Preferably 5+ years of experience as a Quality Assurance professional. 
• Experience of designing and developing an AI augmented validation environment. Preferably examples of creating and connecting AI agents for validation system development and deployment. 
• Experience of quality assurance in either cloud environments or from systems that connect different types of edge devices to the cloud and/or mobile. 
• Open to exploring and developing new approaches to validation. 
• Experience with infrastructure, test frameworks and AI tools. 
• Excellent problem-solving abilities and attention to detail.
