Graduate Embedded Test Engineer (2026)

• About MBRYONICS

MBRYONICS is at the forefront of free space optical communications. Our product portfolio covers a wide range of emerging technologies from photonic integrated circuits to advanced optical systems and embedded software solutions. Our optical communications systems are integrated and deployed in satellite communications systems. The work is exciting and challenging and is at the forefront of the technology domains. As part of our expansion, we are currently looking for a suitably motivated Graduate Embedded Test Engineer to join our group.

We are seeking a high-caliber Graduate Embedded Test Engineer to join our newly formed testing team, starting in Summer 2026. This is a role designed to launch your career in the specialized field of aerospace-grade software verification.

As a scale-up working on next-generation Free Space Optics (FSO) and space-grade hardware, we offer a unique environment where you will learn to bridge the gap between software and physical hardware. You will be mentored by senior engineers to develop the rigorous testing mindsets required for systems where "rebooting" is not an option once they are in orbit.

The Role

This position is a foundational role within our new testing department. You will receive hands-on training to analyze requirements and technical designs, eventually taking ownership of the verification processes for our mission-critical software.

What You'll Do

• Test Planning and Design: Learn to analyze technical specifications to create comprehensive test plans. You will collaborate with the development team to define test scopes and strategies for high-reliability systems.
• Test Execution and Analysis: Execute manual and automated test cases across our technology stack. You will identify and document defects, performing root cause analysis to ensure our hardware survives the rigors of space.
• Testing Breakdown:
• • Embedded Software: 55% (The core of our FSO terminals)
  • Backend Applications: 30%
  • Networking Protocols: 10%
  • Web Front End: 5%
• Test Automation: Receive training in designing and maintaining automated test scripts. You will contribute to our CI/CD pipelines, integrating automated tests to ensure continuous software quality.
• Collaboration: Work within an Agile environment, communicating test progress and results directly to developers and product owners.

Who You Are

We are looking for an ambitious graduate with a strong technical foundation and a meticulous eye for detail.

• Education: A degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• Foundational Knowledge: An understanding of software testing concepts and the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC).
• Analytical Mindset: Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to think critically about how complex systems might fail.
• Communication: Excellent verbal and written skills to report findings clearly to the wider engineering team.
• Passion for Space Tech: A genuine interest in learning about embedded systems and how software interacts with high-performance optical hardware.

Desired Qualifications (Training Provided)

While we don't expect you to be an expert on day one, any experience with the following is a plus:

• High-level languages such as Python or JavaScript.
• Exposure to low-level languages like C or C++.
• Familiarity with CI/CD tools (e.g., BitBucket Pipelines, Jenkins, GitLab CI).
• An interest in networking protocols and hardware-in-the-loop testing

What's in it for you

Career Growth: Contribute to a world-class space-age communication program while developing your career in a fast paced space Scale-up

Collaboration: Work with talented professionals across disciplines to drive impactful solutions

Innovation: Be part of a team pioneering advancements in manufacturing engineering for cutting-edge FSO systems

Work-Life Balance: Enjoy flexible work schedules and a comprehensive benefits package including a starting salary of €44k
