Agility Robotics is looking to improve the quality assurance of its robotics software to ensure reliable, performant, and real-world deployment-ready releases.
Requirements
- Proven experience testing complex, multidisciplinary systems—robotics, autonomous vehicles, or embedded systems preferred
- Strong understanding of robotics hardware—actuators, sensors, embedded systems, and mechanics—and how it affects real-world performance
- Deep understanding of software QA methodologies, automated test development, and CI/CD pipelines
- Hands-on experience with QA frameworks and tools for robotics, including simulation-based testing (e.g., Gazebo, Isaac Sim, MuJoCo) and real-time validation
- Proficiency in scripting languages (e.g., Python) and working knowledge of software development workflows (Git, Jenkins, Docker, etc.)
- Familiarity with robotics software architecture, embedded systems, control loops, and perception pipelines
- Experience with hardware-in-the-loop testing solutions
Responsibilities
- Lead, grow, and mentor a team of SW QA engineers focused on end-to-end testing of robotics software
- Define and execute the QA roadmap for software quality, test infrastructure, and CI/CD strategy
- Refine and evolve Agility's CI/CD processes, ensuring fast, reliable, and scalable software validation
- Establish and scale structured test development practices to validate the full robotics software stack
- Oversee development of automated test frameworks for both simulation and physical robots
- Ensure repeatability, reliability, and traceability across all validation workflows—manual and automated
- Partner with Software, Controls, and Systems Engineering teams to triage, reproduce, and resolve high-priority bugs
Other
- 8+ years of industry experience in software QA, systems validation, or test infrastructure, with at least 3 years in a leadership or management role
- Track record of building, scaling, and managing QA teams in high-growth, fast-paced environments
- Ownership mindset—takes initiative and drives projects forward without waiting for permission
- Pragmatic and scrappy—builds processes and tools that solve real problems without unnecessary overhead
- Excellent communicator—able to translate test results into actionable feedback and influence across disciplines
- Passion for quality, curiosity for how things work, and resilience in the face of complexity
- Flexible, unlimited PTO and 10 company holidays, including a winter shutdown (for exempt employees)
- 10 vacation days, paid sick leave, and 10 company holidays, including a winter shutdown, annually (for non-exempt employees)
- Generous paid parental leave programs
- Professional development and tuition reimbursement programs
- Relocation assistance provided for eligible roles
