About the role
- Most QA Director roles hand you a legacy function and ask you to keep the lights on.
- This is a role with executive visibility, real authority, and the rare opportunity to define what "quality" means at a company where the product is this technically diverse.
- Our QA team - currently anchored by a QA Manager and engineering team primarily based in India - has been doing strong work.
Responsibilities
- Build automated test infrastructure from a low baseline: CI/CD test gates, API and UI regression, data pipeline validation, hardware-in-the-loop, and simulation for physical systems
- Lead, mentor, and level up the distributed QA team across the US and India, including directly developing the existing QA Manager and growing the team with a deliberate mix of automation engineers and high-judgment manual testers
- Establish ML/perception model evaluation methodology and release qualification criteria, working directly with ML and autonomy leads to qualify model upgrades for production
- Partner cross-functionally with engineering, autonomy, cloud, and field ops to align QA with deployment realities and customer-reported quality issues
Requirements
- 10+ years in QA or test engineering with production systems at scale, including 5+ years leading QA, SDET, or test engineering teams
- Proven track record of replacing manual test cycles with automation, instrumentation, or AI grading - and a clear philosophy for where manual QA remains irreplaceable
- Experience managing a geographically distributed team (US + India or equivalent), with the mentorship instincts and cultural fluency that requires
Nice to have
- Hardware QA or field reliability experience with sensors, cameras, embedded devices, drones, or robotics
- Experience with simulation-based testing (Gazebo, Isaac Sim, or in-house sim) for robotics or perception systems
- Background in warehouse, logistics, or industrial deployment environments
Benefits
- drones flying in warehouses, camera-based MHE Vision systems installed on forklifts and at dock doors, and a customer-facing cloud platform that ingests it all and turns it into inventory intelligence.
- Demonstrated breadth across at least two of: hardware/embedded systems QA, ML/computer vision model evaluation, and cloud/fullstack/SaaS platform QA - single-domain specialists will not have the range this role requires
