Validate data ingestion, transformation, and inference pipelines across structured and unstructured data sources. Automation & Tooling Drive a test automation first mindset, integrating tests into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Argo CD). Oversee automated testing across API and service layers, UI (E2E and accessibility), and infrastructure and deployment workflows. Select, implement, and evolve testing tools and frameworks appropriate to modern cloud native and AI systems. Non Functional Testing Own performance, scalability, reliability, and resilience testing for distributed systems. Coordinate security testing activities in line with secure by design principles (e.g. IAM, secrets handling, data boundaries). Validate backup, disaster recovery, and failover scenarios alongside DevOps and Backend teams. Delivery & Collaboration Embed with delivery teams to ensure testing is planned early and executed continuously. Work closely with Product and Engineering to define clear acceptance criteria and definition of done. Provide clear, decision ready quality reporting to technical and non technical stakeholders. Support customer facing demonstrations, trials, and operational readiness assessments. Required Skills & Experience Proven experience as a Test Manager, Senior Test Lead, or equivalent on complex software systems. Strong track record of taking applications into production in regulated environments. Strong background in automated testing across APIs, services, and UIs, integrated into CI/CD pipelines. Experience testing distributed, cloud native systems (AWS, GCP, or Kubernetes), including performance, reliability, and resilience. Awareness of compliance frameworks (e.g. ISO 27001, NIST, OWASP). ISTQB Advanced / Test Manager certification or equivalent practical experience. SC Clearance or eligibility to obtain UK SC Clearance. Preferred Experience Experience in UK defence, public sector, or security environments. Experience testing AI/ML/LLM based systems, including non deterministic outputs. Exposure to agent based or workflow driven architectures. Soft Skills A pragmatic, delivery focused mindset - able to balance speed with rigour.

Salary: Competitive depending on experience Location: 2-3 days on-site at our Harwell office with travel to client site when required Contract type: Full-timepermanent - 37.5 hours A note from the Founders Oxford Dynamics is at an inflection point. We operate in some of the most complex and high stakes environments in the world - defence, national security, AI and robotics. The decisions we make now will define not just how fast we grow, but who we become. You will work closely with all the team. You will be trusted with judgment calls. You will influence the business. And you will see the impact of your work every day in the work we do. If you are excited by ownership, pace and purpose - and by building something that genuinely matters - we would love to hear from you. Who We Are Founded in 2020, Oxford Dynamics (OD) is a fast growing UK deep tech company developing AI and robotic systems designed to operate in mission critical environments. Our flagship AVIS (A Very Intelligent System) AI framework fuses multi modal data - text, imagery, telemetry and sensor feeds - enabling operators to interrogate complex information at speed and make better decisions under pressure. Our STRIDER robotic platform performs autonomous tasks in hazardous environments, protecting people while extending operational reach. Our ambition is simple but demanding: to converge AI and robotics so machines can sense, understand and act in complex, real world environments. We work with defence and security organisations internationally to help protect nations, infrastructure and lives. What you will be doing here/ why this role matters Oxford Dynamics is a small team who rely on a collaborative and positive approach and so the right attitude for this role is equally as important as experience. We are at an important stage and time in our growth, and as aSenior AI Generative Robotics Engineer you will be an essential part of our success. You'll work at thecutting edge of agentic and generative AI, building systems that move beyond lab demos and intoreal world deployment at pace. At Oxford Dynamics, you'll have the freedom to experiment in a fast moving environment, the responsibility to deliver, and the opportunity to shape howmulti agent AI systems operate in complex, constrained, and high trust environments. If you're excited byagent orchestration, VLLMs, and deploying AI where it matters, this role is built for you! Role Summary We're hiring a Test & AI Evaluation Lead to own how Oxford Dynamics validates its AI driven, mission critical systems - from multi agent orchestration and LLM outputs through to cloud infrastructure and real time user facing applications. You'll design and lead test approaches where correctness, resilience, and security matter as much as feature velocity. Working embedded with AI, Backend, Frontend, and DevOps, you'll shape how we validate agent behaviours, data pipelines, and end to end operational workflows - from research prototypes through to production deployments for Defence and Security customers. Quality is built in from day one, not inspected at the end. Key Responsibilities Define and own the end to end test strategy across AI, backend, frontend, and infrastructure layers. Establish testing standards appropriate for agentic AI systems, including non deterministic behaviour and probabilistic outputs.

Full time
Salary: Competitive depending on experience Location: 2-3 days on-site at our Harwell office with travel to client site when required Contract type: Full-timepermanent - 37.5 hours A note from the Founders Oxford Dynamics is at an inflection point. We operate in some of the most complex and high stakes environments in the world - defence, national security, AI and robotics. The decisions we make now will define not just how fast we grow, but who we become. You will work closely with all the team. You will be trusted with judgment calls. You will influence the business. And you will see the impact of your work every day in the work we do. If you are excited by ownership, pace and purpose - and by building something that genuinely matters - we would love to hear from you. Who We Are Founded in 2020, Oxford Dynamics (OD) is a fast growing UK deep tech company developing AI and robotic systems designed to operate in mission critical environments. Our flagship AVIS (A Very Intelligent System) AI framework fuses multi modal data - text, imagery, telemetry and sensor feeds - enabling operators to interrogate complex information at speed and make better decisions under pressure. Our STRIDER robotic platform performs autonomous tasks in hazardous environments, protecting people while extending operational reach. Our ambition is simple but demanding: to converge AI and robotics so machines can sense, understand and act in complex, real world environments. We work with defence and security organisations internationally to help protect nations, infrastructure and lives. What you will be doing here/ why this role matters Oxford Dynamics is a small team who rely on a collaborative and positive approach and so the right attitude for this role is equally as important as experience. We are at an important stage and time in our growth, and as aSenior AI Generative Robotics Engineer you will be an essential part of our success. You'll work at thecutting edge of agentic and generative AI, building systems that move beyond lab demos and intoreal world deployment at pace. At Oxford Dynamics, you'll have the freedom to experiment in a fast moving environment, the responsibility to deliver, and the opportunity to shape howmulti agent AI systems operate in complex, constrained, and high trust environments. If you're excited byagent orchestration, VLLMs, and deploying AI where it matters, this role is built for you! Role Summary We're hiring a Test & AI Evaluation Lead to own how Oxford Dynamics validates its AI driven, mission critical systems - from multi agent orchestration and LLM outputs through to cloud infrastructure and real time user facing applications. You'll design and lead test approaches where correctness, resilience, and security matter as much as feature velocity. Working embedded with AI, Backend, Frontend, and DevOps, you'll shape how we validate agent behaviours, data pipelines, and end to end operational workflows - from research prototypes through to production deployments for Defence and Security customers. Quality is built in from day one, not inspected at the end. Key Responsibilities Define and own the end to end test strategy across AI, backend, frontend, and infrastructure layers. Establish testing standards appropriate for agentic AI systems, including non deterministic behaviour and probabilistic outputs. Ensure testing aligns with mission critical, safety conscious, and security first delivery expectations.
