Contract: Full-Time, Permanent Desired Start Date: February/March About STATSports: What if the product you helped to build next week was worn by an elite athlete the week after? At STATSports, that could be your reality. Since 2007, we’ve grown from a small Irish start-up into the global leader in GPS performance tracking, trusted by the world’s biggest clubs, leagues, and athletes. Our technology sits at the intersection of hardware, software, and sport, helping teams optimise performance, reduce injury risk, and unlock insights that were previously impossible. But just as importantly, our products support the next generation of athletes, from academies to grassroots, giving them access to the same performance tools as the pros. Innovation has always driven us forward, and it’s our people who make that happen. The opportunity: We’re looking for a Hardware Tester to join our Engineering and Production Support teams, playing a critical role in ensuring the quality, reliability, and performance of STATSports products. This is a hands-on, detail-focused role where you’ll be testing, validating, calibrating, and troubleshooting electronic hardware used by athletes at the very top of their game. You’ll work closely with Hardware, Firmware, and Production teams, contributing directly to products as they move from early builds through to full-scale production. If you enjoy understanding how hardware works, finding what’s wrong, and helping make it better, this role will suit you. What you’ll be doing: Testing electronic assemblies, sensors, and integrated systems against defined specifications Performing functional verification, calibration, and quality checks on prototype and production hardware Debugging hardware issues, identifying root causes, and clearly communicating findings to engineering teams Operating test fixtures, diagnostic tools, and automated test equipment Supporting early hardware bring-up and providing feedback on testability and performance Recording test results accurately and maintaining clear documentation for traceability Assisting in the development and improvement of test procedures, tools, and workflows Working closely with Hardware, Firmware, and Production teams to resolve issues and improve quality Maintaining a safe, organised, and efficient testing environment Actively contributing to the continuous improvement of QA and testing practices What we're looking for: You’ll likely enjoy this role if you: Have experience testing or working with electronic hardware in a lab, production, or R&D environment Understand electronic components, PCB assemblies, and basic circuit operation Are comfortable using diagnostic tools such as multimeters, oscilloscopes, or logic analysers Can read schematics, technical documentation, and test instructions Take a methodical, detail-oriented approach to testing and documentation Enjoy problem-solving and communicating issues clearly to others Work well with cross-functional teams in a fast-moving environment A technical qualification in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics (or equivalent hands-on experience) is beneficial, but mindset and curiosity are important. Nice to have (but not essential): Experience in areas such as embedded systems, microcontrollers, wireless technologies, automated test systems, environmental or reliability testing, manufacturing processes, or regulated product environments is a bonus — but not required. What’s in it for you: A hands-on role where your work directly impacts products used in elite sport Exposure to the full hardware lifecycle, from early prototypes to production Collaboration with engineers across hardware, firmware, software, and manufacturing A team culture that values quality, learning, and shared success The chance to contribute to products worn by athletes on the world’s biggest stages If you’re passionate about hardware quality and want your work to make a visible impact in sport, we’d love to hear from you.
