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++
