About the role
- This is a high-leverage infrastructure role.
- You'll be the engineer who makes every other engineer on the team more productive.
- We already have hardware-in-the-loop test rigs and some device simulators in place.
Responsibilities
- Build the Verification Machine (50%)
- You'll own the infrastructure that gives our team fast, reliable signals on whether their code works.
- Design and extend device simulators and mocks that reduce our dependency on physical hardware for testing
- Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines across embedded, cloud, and mobile (GitHub Actions, Bazel)
- Build reusable test fixtures, libraries, and templates that lower the barrier for engineers to write unit and integration tests
- Design testable interfaces and mock layers for embedded device features
- Collaborate on architecture decisions to ensure new code is testable by default
Requirements
- You can work independently, identify the highest-leverage infrastructure gaps, and make the case for fixing them
- You have experience with or interest in how AI agents can be integrated into testing and verification workflows
Nice to have
- Experience with device communication protocols (Modbus, serial, gRPC)
- Experience testing firmware OTA updates or device provisioning flows
- Docker and containerization for test environments
- Mobile test automation (Appium for iOS/Android)
- Web E2E automation (Cypress/Playwright)
- HVAC, home automation, or similar IoT domain experience
- Embedded Linux or Raspberry Pi development
- You have 4-7 years of software engineering experience, with significant time spent on test infrastructure, developer tooling, CI/CD systems, or platform/infrastructure engineering
Skills
- 20% of US global warming emissions come from homes (that's more than cars!).
- The largest driver of home emissions is burning fossil fuels for heat.
- To stop climate change, over 80M US homes need to transition from combustion to efficient, electric heat pumps over the coming decades.
- AI agents can generate code 100x faster than humans.
- But at Quilt, generating code was never the bottleneck, verifying it is.
- A bug isn't a broken pixel; it's a family without heat.
- Our code spans embedded C++ on custom devices, cloud infrastructure, and mobile apps.
- Right now, too much of our verification depends on a human walking to a test bench and pressing a button.
Compensation
- This is a full-time, hybrid position working out of our Redwood City office.
- Candidates must be able to commute to the office at least 3 days a week.
- We are not able to offer relocation assistance for this role.
- The expected base annual salary range for this role is $150,000-$200,000, depending on experience.
- In addition to base salary, Quilt also offers meaningful equity and top-tier health benefits.
- Don't meet 100% of the requirements?
