About Us

Are you looking for an opportunity to make a real difference in your next role?

At Osho, our purpose is to radically accelerate the clean-energy revolution - starting with smarter, safer, and more efficient homes. We’re focused on improving experiences for people through the application of technology, data, and a deep understanding of human behaviour.

Why? As a society, we need to decarbonise and accelerate the transition to alternative energy sources. Existing solutions are expensive and disparate, with limited functionality.

Osho is driven by purpose, real innovation, and ambition. We have a talented team spread across New Zealand, with a creative space by the beach in Takapuna, and a Design Lab in Christchurch where our physical products come to life. We're more than happy to take on someone who wants to work remotely from a different location across New Zealand too, or wants to relocate.

We closed a $12m capital raise late 2021, so we're well funded and ready to grow. Our team is smart, curious and has some big goals - so if you’re interested in joining a fast-growing and startup that is design-led and puts people at its core, then we’d love to hear from you! 

This is your chance to join something special early, and contribute to making a very real impact.

We're also currently in stealth mode, so check out our website and we'll share more with you during the recruitment process 😁

The Role

We are developing new electrical and electronics systems, new mechanical systems, new software systems, new interfaces and new product initiatives. We need to test all these streams of work to ensure we are both learning fast and developing a quality product. We are using lean development methods that are iterative, cross-functional and feed our learnings back into the design process. As our systems test engineer you may have a specialty in software or hardware, but your wider systems purview enables you to contribute to our overall product goals and resolution of human-centred problems.

We are seeking more than one position and complementary skill-sets. You might be strong in software scripting in python, or electrical pre-compliance testing, or test planning of requirements as examples. Let us know what your ideal specialisation is.

Some of the things that you might be involved in include:

• Test documentation: Creating Test Plans and establishing traceability between Test Plans and Requirements ( created by System Engineers)
• Product Testing: Be part of our systems led development process, working collaboratively with our product, systems and design teams to advance our products forward for a regulated & safety critical market
• Advocacy for Quality: Working closely with System Engineers to review requirements and advocate their Testability, highlight gaps in test plans & environments early and facilitate filling them
• Automation: We love automating stuff. Help develop, iterate and execute our CI and HIL test systems. Being proficient in Python will be instrumental here.
• Research Testing: We are developing lots of new IP blocks and concepts. Supporting our technology advancement with varied exploratory testing activities will help push the envelope.
• Infrastructure: Build our testing capabilities, whether it's improvements of our CI HIL setup, our test documentation system, fabricating custom test equipment, ordering new gear or fitting out our new lab.
• Best Practice: Helping to improve the way we work with reviews and retrospectives, research new methods and practices, and collaborating for change.
• Readiness: Forward planning activities to ensure we are always on top of tasks with our resources, vendors and equipment.

About You

We think you’ll be a fit for this role if you have:

• At least 5+ years experience in electronics or hardware testing
• Demonstrable experience working with complex, integrated hardware products
• Skills in python programming
• Experience creating test plans and test documentation
• Experiences in proving traceability between Product requirements and Test Plans

Some nice to haves include:

• Experience with automation testing
• Electrical pre-compliance testing experience

Benefits

• Flexible hours - we focus on effort and outcomes, so adjust your hours around your children, hobbies, or other commitments
• A schedule of fun team events throughout the year (ziplining, knife throwing, lawn games, what's next?)
• Office dogs
• Newly-refurbished offices in Auckland (by the beach) and Christchurch (by the park)
• The opportunity to learn and develop from some of the best and brightest minds in the industry!
