Software Tester / QA Engineer – Apps & Connected Devices (m/f/d)

Help turn good ideas into software people can rely on Do you enjoy trying new features, spotting what does not quite work and figuring out why? At AUGLETICS, you will help make sure our rowing machines, device software and app work well together, so new features reach our customers thoroughly tested. We develop and manufacture connected rowing machines in Königs Wusterhausen near Berlin. You will test on real equipment, work closely with developers and see how your feedback improves the product. You will join a software team of four to five people and work directly with our CTO, Christopher Klabunde. Your focus is software quality assurance. Alongside hands-on testing, you will help coordinate projects: clarify requirements, organise open tasks and help the team move ideas through to release. You can grow into this responsibility, with support from Chris and the team. What you will do • Test the app and devices: Explore new features, everyday training workflows and edge cases, and give specific feedback on functionality and usability. • Build repeatable tests: Develop test cases, checklists and regression tests. Gradually introduce test automation where it helps the product and team. • Follow bugs through to resolution: Document reproducible steps, investigate causes with developers and verify fixes, including their impact on other features. • Help projects move forward: Organise tasks, define clear acceptance criteria, coordinate dependencies and keep progress and open questions visible. • Support effective teamwork: Facilitate agile discussions using approaches such as Scrum or Kanban, help remove obstacles and improve workflows with the team. This is project coordination without line-management responsibility. • Use AI thoughtfully: Apply AI tools to test ideas, debugging, small utilities and automation, while carefully checking the results. What you bring • An interest in software testing, quality assurance and technical projects. Previous experience is welcome, but not required; we are also interested in how you learn and why you want to enter this field. • Curiosity, attention to detail and a systematic approach to solving problems. You can explain what went wrong and how to reproduce it. • A technical foundation and an interest in understanding how apps, devices and backends work together. • Initiative and an organised approach. You ask questions, follow up on open points and care about getting things finished. • Openness to AI-assisted development and testing. If you have experimented with these tools, we would love to hear about it. • Good spoken and written English is required. You need to discuss technical topics and document findings confidently. German is not required, but it is a strong advantage. • The ability to work regularly on site in Königs Wusterhausen, because many tests happen directly on the rowing machines. A degree in computer science or a related subject, relevant vocational training, or equivalent knowledge provides a good foundation. Experienced or just starting out?
