Skills
Must have
- 5+ years in Test engineering, including meaningful time spent on products that combine hardware and software.
- Hands-on experience testing physical devices, including using lab equipment to work out why something failed, not only testing software that talks to hardware.
- Strong programming fundamentals in at least one language: JavaScript/TypeScript, C++, Python, or another. We care about depth in something, not a specific stack.
- Experience building automated tests and making them a standing part of a team’s release process.
- Experience testing mobile apps on real iOS and Android devices.
- Able to read the code under test well enough to work through root cause alongside developers.
- A structured, methodical approach to finding the ways a product can break.
- Bonus: experience with cameras, sensors, lidar, or other measurement hardware.

ABOUT US
At Planitar, we build technology that helps people see and understand the world’s spaces more clearly.
We are the creators of iGUIDE, a powerful property technology solution that combines immersive 3D tours, accurate floor plans and reliable spatial data into a single, easy-to-use system. Our cameras and software platform are used by professionals in real estate, insurance, construction and property management to simplify their work and deliver better results.
Planitar recently joined REA Group, one of the world’s leading digital property companies. REA operates Australia’s largest residential and commercial property platforms, including realestate.com.au and has a growing global footprint across Asia and North America. Together, we are shaping the future of property technology, combining Planitar’s deep spatial data expertise with REA’s global scale and innovation engine.
We work in a hybrid environment headquartered in Waterloo, Ontario and are growing quickly as we expand our impact worldwide.
OUR VISION
A connected future where reliable spatial data enables informed decisions across the property lifecycle.
OUR VALUES
- Integrity: We do the right thing, even when it’s hard.
- Teamwork: We are one team, on a big mission.
- Innovation: We value creative solutions for emerging opportunities.
- Accountability: We honour our commitments.
ABOUT THE ROLE
As a Senior Systems Test Engineer (Embedded & Mobile), you will join a tight-knit engineering team and own quality across the way iGUIDE captures data: the camera, the PLANIX Mobile App, and how the two work together. You will test new camera releases on real hardware, check that the app behaves the way it should in the conditions our users work in, and build automated testing that keeps known problems from coming back.
You’ll work closely with teams across the organization, including firmware, mobile, cloud, Product Management, and UX, to raise the quality bar across the hardware-software boundary
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Own the test plan for our camera software: what gets tested before a release ships, and what has to pass for it to go out.
- Test the cameras on real hardware: measurement accuracy, battery and power behaviour, connectivity, and how the device recovers when something is interrupted.
- Set up test equipment so routine checks run automatically instead of by hand.
- Test the PLANIX Mobile App against real cameras across the whole capture workflow: connecting, scanning, saving, transferring, and exporting.
