Senior Software Quality Engineer

The Opportunity

We’re looking for a Senior QA Engineer to build and own the testing backbone that enables safe, high-velocity development of AI systems operating in the physical world.

You will design and run the systems that ensure our AI and robotics stack is reliable, safe, and production-ready. In this role, you act as the control layer between rapid AI development and real-world deployment, ensuring systems remain stable and trustworthy in unpredictable environments.

Your Responsibilities

• Own and continuously improve the CI/CD pipeline, enabling automated and confident deployments of software and models
• Monitor test outcomes and evaluation reports to drive system quality and stability
• Design and implement hardware-in-the-loop testing in collaboration with engineering teams
• Define and scale human-in-the-loop QA processes with operations for model validation
• Build simulation-based regression tests with ML and simulation teams using physics-based environments
• Write and maintain comprehensive test strategies and plans across software, models, and field deployments
• Take ownership of the overall testing infrastructure end-to-end

Technologies

• Python
• Linux
• Testing frameworks
• CI/CD pipelines
• Containerization
• Git
• AI and robotics systems (general stack awareness)
• ROS and simulators (nice to have)
• C++

Requirements

Must Have

• MSc or PhD in a relevant technical field
• 5+ years of experience in QA, Test Engineering, or Systems Integration for complex hardware-software systems (ideally robotics or similar domains)
• Proven track record in industries like robotics, autonomous systems, aerospace, automotive, medical devices, or advanced industrial automation
• Strong experience with non-deterministic / probabilistic systems and real-world validation challenges
• Expertise in building and scaling automated testing infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines
• Advanced technical stack: Python, Linux, testing frameworks, containerization, and version control (Git)
• Experience mentoring engineers or contributing to technical leadership and team growth

Nice to Have

• Solid understanding of AI and robotics systems
• Experience with ROS, simulators, or C++
• Exposure to simulation-based testing or hardware-in-the-loop systems

Benefits
