Test Engineer

Our mission is to improve the performance of athletes and teams, which we do by engineering the premier technology platform for sport. We've been at the forefront of sports technology and science since 2006 - we don't just work in the sporting industry, we are actively changing its future. Our solutions are designed to help athletes and coaches “play smart” in a world where 1% can literally mean the difference between winning and losing.

We work with over 4,600 teams around the world, empowering coaches, managers and trainers in premier teams in the NFL, NBA, NHL, MLS, EPL, AFL, NRL, NCAA and more. We provide the information they need to optimise athletes’ health, game-day readiness, and performance, as well as in-game tactics. Our solutions include wearable technology, video analytics, and athlete monitoring solutions, and we are passionate about helping sports organizations at all levels to better scout, recruit, teach, and win.

WE WANT PEOPLE WHO ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT PROVIDING QUALITY PRODUCTS TO OUR CUSTOMERS

We are looking for an analytical and thorough Test Engineer who is a proactive problem solver and a strong communicator.

This role goes beyond finding defects; it's about thinking like a customer, anticipating how athletes and coaches will use our technology in the real world, and ensuring our solutions deliver real impact. You’ll act as a bridge between engineering and product outcomes, making sure testing is not just a stage in the process but a driver of product quality, usability, and performance.

Based in Melbourne, you will be a key player in the Research & Development team that designs the wearable tracking hardware that Catapult is famous for. You will be working with the most cutting edge technology across a wide range of our wearable and stadium infrastructure products for the elite sports industry. Reporting to the Principal Test Engineer / Team Lead, the primary responsibilities of the Test Engineer are to create test procedures, develop automated test harnesses, detect and report issues, and work with development engineers to resolve issues.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Develop frameworks, test harnesses and scripts to test firmware algorithms, Edge Computing applications which interface Catapult wearables with the cloud, and Internet of Things (IoT) backends.
• Develop and implement test strategies, plans, and cases for new and existing features; review and contribute to those developed by colleagues.
• Write testing infrastructure / tools / automation components which are reliable, debugged, well documented and have logical utilities that are not easily misused.
• Adopt test automation frameworks and tools, and aggressively automate test processes.
• Promote innovation, drive best practice and contribute to the continuous improvement of testing processes and methodologies.
• Monitor and report on testing progress, defect trends, and overall quality metrics.
• Analyse and interpret logging and diagnostic information. Find, isolate and report issues using bug tracking software. Work with development engineers to resolve issues.
• Collaborate closely with tech leads, product managers, and other stakeholders to align on priorities, tradeoffs and risk, and to influence product design to improve testability and ensure quality is built in from the start.
• Actively contribute to and participate in team engineering processes, design meetings and code reviews with the view of continuously improving quality.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with test engineering peers across firmware and software teams to coordinate effort, align on common test frameworks and tools, and collaborate on end-to-end testing of user workflows.
• Stay up-to-date with industry best practices and emerging technologies in software and firmware testing.
• Take part in a test engineering “chapter” where best practice is shared amongst other test engineers within the business.
• Occasionally provide technical support to customers (which may be on the weekend or after hours).
