Description
### **Description**
From the **Q\-tech team**, we collaborate with a tech startup that has developed —almost 100% in-house— its **own product within the sustainability sector**: a physical device capable of automatically identifying the material deposited by a user for recycling (plastic, glass, etc.) using sensors and embedded AI, and rewarding this action via a mobile app or NFC card.
The product is already deployed across **dozens of public locations**, as well as installations at campsites and collaborations with local authorities and waste management companies.
Operating 24/7 outdoors, **reliability is critical**: each failure translates into a real-world incident. Therefore, an in-house ecosystem of firmware and hardware test automation exists — and we now seek you to maintain, scale, and strengthen it.
