## About the Role

* 6-9 years of QA engineering experience, including at least 2+ years building and maintaining test automation frameworks (Selenium, Playwright, Cypress, or equivalent)
 * Hands-on experience using AI-assisted testing or development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, AI test-generation platforms) in a production QA workflow
 * Strong scripting ability in Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, or Java for building and maintaining automated tests
 * Experience with API testing (Postman, REST Assured, or similar) and CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI)
 * Comfortable owning full QA cycles beyond automation - test planning, defect management, exploratory testing, release sign-off
 * Familiarity with AI-assisted code review and automated testing/quality tools
 * Comfort using AI-enabled project management tools (e.g., Jira AI, Asana Intelligence) for sprint tracking and status reporting
 * Able to work onsite in Newark, CA

Preferred

 * QA experience in automotive, embedded systems, or another hardware-adjacent software environment
 * Experience with performance and load testing tools

## Description

* Design, build, and maintain automated test suites (UI, API, integration) using AI-assisted tools to accelerate test-case generation, maintenance, and self-healing of flaky tests
 * Own end-to-end QA for assigned feature areas - test planning, test-case design, exploratory testing, and regression coverage, not just automation
 * Evaluate and integrate AI/ML-based testing tools (e.g., AI test-generation copilots, visual-regression AI, anomaly detection in test results) into the existing QA pipeline
 * Triage, log, and track defects through resolution; collaborate directly with developers on root cause and fix verification
 * Build and maintain CI/CD test integration so automated suites run reliably on every build
 * Analyze test results and production signals to identify quality risk areas before they become customer-facing defects
 * Mentor other QA engineers on applying AI tooling effectively without sacrificing test rigor
