Own the architecture, development, and evolution of Agility's test infrastructure, including simulation-based, hardware-in-the-loop, and physical robot test environments.
Establish and scale structured test development practices and automated test frameworks across the full robotics software stack including controls, perception, state estimation, planning, and the cloud platform for robot fleet management, ensuring test cases are comprehensive, maintainable, and traceable to product requirements.
Build and maintain internal tooling that serves the broader SEIT org, reducing manual effort and increasing test coverage and execution velocity.
Lead the release management function end to end: define quality gates, own the release readiness process, and make the go/no-go call on software releases with clear, metrics-backed rationale.
Own what happens after a release goes out: track field issues, identify test gaps that allowed escapes, and drive resolution before the next release.
Lead, grow, and mentor a team of engineers across test infrastructure, automation, and release management.

Requirements

8+ years in product testing, test infrastructure, or test automation with at least 2 years in a management role.
Proven experience testing complex, multidisciplinary systems where hardware and software are deeply coupled: robotics, autonomous vehicles, embedded systems, or similar domains.
Track record of building and scaling SDET or test engineering teams in high-growth, fast-paced environments.
Experience owning release processes end-to-end, including defining quality gates, managing regression pipelines, and making go/no-go calls.
