About the RoleAs a Software QA/QC Engineer you will help ensure the reliability, safety, and performance of our autonomy software stack. This role will work closely with software, product, test, and hardware teams to validate system behavior across simulation, embedded platforms, and real-world testing environments.
Responsibilities- Develop and execute test plans, validation procedures, and quality processes for autonomy and embedded software systems
- Design, implement, and maintain automated testing frameworks for backend services, embedded systems, APIs, and autonomy behaviors
- Build regression, integration, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL), and system-level test pipelines
- Collaborate with autonomy, controls, perception, embedded, and platform engineers to define acceptance criteria and validation methodologies
- Investigate software defects, reproduce issues, and partner with engineering teams to drive root-cause analysis and resolution
- Support field testing and operational validation efforts for autonomous systems
- Define metrics and reporting processes for software quality, reliability, and release readiness
- Improve CI/CD workflows and automated quality gates within the software development lifecycle
- Contribute to documentation related to testing procedures, validation results, and release certification processes
- Help establish scalable QA/QC best practices appropriate for a rapidly growing engineering organization
Requirements- 3+ years of experience in software QA, software validation, or test engineering
- Experience testing complex robotics platforms or autonomy systems
- Proficiency with automated testing frameworks such as NVIDIA Isaac Sim and Gazebo
- Proficiency with and scripting languages such as Python, Bash, or JavaScript
