Quality Engineer

At
SWARM Biotactics
, we're creating
biorobots
— living, intelligent systems based on insects. Each insect carries a custom-designed backpack that enables wireless control, sensing, and secure communication.

Biorobot swarms combine the agility of biology with AI, sensors, and swarm coordination — unlocking capabilities where conventional machines fail.

We are
the only company in the world
doing this — and we're pushing the edge of what's possible in every domain: from biology to embedded hardware to swarm intelligence.

Join us at the frontier
— and help create the first generation of living machines.

Your Role

You will be the
first dedicated Quality Engineer
ensuring that our entire biorobotics pipeline — from the insect-mounted hardware to the cloud data platform — is reliable, safe, and production-ready.

You'll design and run tests across:

• Embedded hardware & bio-integrated backpacks
• Wireless communication and edge systems
• Cloud data infrastructure
• Frontends

You will build a
systematic testing culture
: scalable test plans, regression suites, integration tests, system tests, hardware-in-the-loop setups, and automated quality gates for everything from edge devices to cloud pipelines.

Your Profile

You're an
engineering generalist
with strong QA fundamentals and the curiosity and courage to test systems that have no precedent.

Must-haves:

• 3+ years in QA engineering, test automation, or systems quality roles.
• Experience testing
  distributed systems
  (hardware + embedded + cloud).
• Strong familiarity with
  messaging systems
  , wireless communication, or IoT systems.
• Experience with Cloud Computing (ideally AWS).
• Experience with Linux-based edge systems and containerized workloads.
• Strong analytical and debugging skills across network, system, and application layers.
• Comfortable building
  test harnesses
  , scripts, and automated pipelines.
• A systematic approach to quality.
• Excited to work hands-on with
  physical systems
  .

Nice-to-haves:

• Experience with
  computer vision
  , motion tracking, or sensor calibration.
• Exposure to
  robotics
  , autonomous systems, or hardware-in-the-loop testing.
• QA experience in both
  UI
  and
  backend/infra
  contexts.
• Understanding of
  biological systems
  (not required, but helpful and very cool).

Why SWARM Biotactics

• We're
  well-funded
  and expanding fast in a space
  no one else is in
  .
• You'll join a
  world-class team
  working on the
  frontier of science and engineering
  .
• Your work will directly shape the foundation
  of biorobotic systems that redefine the interface between life and technology.
