The posting

As a Test Engineer at Nova Sky Stories, you will own the design, development, and maintenance of our manual and automated testing infrastructure. You will work closely with software, hardware, and production teams to ensure that our flight-control software, creative tools, and show-orchestration systems meet the highest standards of reliability and performance.

As a Test Engineering, you’ll be working on:

  • Creating and maintaining automated tests (unit, integration, system-level) for our drone light show applications built with C++, Qt, and Dear ImGui.
  • Designing test frameworks, mock environments, and test utilities that help validate critical real-time and UI-driven functionality.
  • Building and improving our CI/CD test pipelines, ensuring fast, reliable, and repeatable verification for every code change.
  • Collaborating with software engineers, designers, and drone operators to understand feature behavior and translate it into effective test strategies.
  • Testing components involving real-time data processing, mission-critical control interfaces, and operator tools used in live drone show production.
  • Investigating issues, reproducing complex edge cases, and providing detailed feedback to help engineers maintain the highest level of software reliability.

You will be responsible for:

  • Develop and maintain manual and automated unit tests, integration tests, and end-to-end test suites.
  • Build and optimize test pipelines to support continuous integration and delivery.
  • Collaborate with developers to identify, diagnose, and resolve software defects.
  • Design test strategies for new features and system components.
  • Contribute to improving internal QA processes, tooling, and best practices.
  • Work with C++ and Qt/QML codebases to write effective, maintainable test code.
  • Ensure test coverage and reliability for mission-critical systems used in large-scale drone show productions.

You’ll need to have:

  • Strong experience in C++ development.
  • Hands-on experience with automated testing (unit, integration, CI pipelines).
  • Ability to design clear, reliable test cases and frameworks.
  • Familiarity with modern development workflows (Git, CI/CD, code review culture).
  • Experience with Qt/QML, especially for UI-driven testing.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
  • Ability to communicate fluently in German and English.

It’s a plus if you have:

  • Knowledge of testing embedded, real-time, or robotics systems.
  • Experience in the entertainment tech, UAV, or simulation domains.

Why you’ll love working with us:

  • Be part of something innovative: Work on projects that combine cutting-edge technology and creativity to deliver one-of-a-kind visual experiences.
  • Creative freedom: Have the autonomy to take on challenges, propose solutions, and see your ideas implemented in real-world applications.
  • Direct impact: Your work will have a real and visible influence on the execution of massive, high-profile visual events across the globe.
  • Supportive environment: We’re a fun, forward-thinking team that loves solving big problems and working together to create something magical.
  • Exciting perks: Competitive salary, flexible hours, and front-row access to the incredible visual experiences you help bring to life. 🌟

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
