Bragi was founded in 2013 and launched the world's first Truly Wireless Earphones in 2015 (yes, a whole 12 months before the Airpods...)

Since then, we have evolved from a promising startup to a market-moving creator of innovative technology, opening the new category of Truly Wireless Earphones. Bragi transformed into a software enabler for consumer brands, focusing on scaling its technology after investing more than $90 million in software and AI.

Now we are a leader in the AI headphone space, known for our smart devices that integrate seamlessly into users' lives. With a focus on innovation and user experience, we are driving the evolution of wearable technology.

Head of QA

You’ll own the quality strategy, release readiness, and delivery outcomes across our Manual QA and Test Automation teams (16 direct reports), operating at the intersection of embedded firmware, mobile applications, and cloud services.

This is more than a people management role. You will define the company’s quality vision, build an automation-first testing organization, and establish the practices that determine whether software is ready to ship. As the final gatekeeper for product quality, you’ll own release quality standards and risk assessment.

This is a remote role, but you’re always welcome to join us in our Munich office.

What you will be working on

• Build, lead, and grow a high-performing QA organization through hiring, coaching, mentoring, performance management, and career development
• Define and execute Bragi’s QA and Test Automation strategy across embedded firmware, mobile applications, and cloud services
• Drive an automation-first culture by expanding automated test coverage, improving framework reliability, and continuously reducing manual testing effort
• Define quality KPIs such as automation coverage, defect leakage, release stability, testing efficiency, and use them to drive continuous improvement
• Establish scalable QA processes, testing standards, documentation, tooling, and best practices across multiple engineering teams
• Provide technical leadership on complex validation challenges, including firmware validation, HW/SW integration, Bluetooth interoperability, firmware-app integration, AI feature validation, and lab/devboard environments
• Drive quality gates throughout CI/CD pipelines, ensuring automated validation is an integral part of every software release
