About the role
- Own the quality function end-to-end across SaaS, mobile apps, and IoT devices/gateways.
- Design the QA strategy, processes, and tooling.
- Lead execution (hands-on + vendor/contract coordination), and run release governance—from feature verification through systems integration, regression, and production readiness.
- Partner with product and vertical engineering teams to deliver predictable, low-risk releases.
- Establish/own defect lifecycle, test plans, test reporting, and release readiness criteria (RfR/Release Queue). Publish release notes and list of known issues.
- Define system integration testing (SIT) and end-to-end regression across cloud, mobile (Android), and device firmware.
- Run go/no-go calls; maintain the Forward Schedule of Change; ensure roll-back and telemetry are in place.
- Create risk-based test plans; balance automation vs. exploratory testing.
- Stand up automation frameworks (API, web, mobile, hardware-in-the-loop) and CI hooks for gates.
- Own device test rigs (benchtop, HIL, OTA, environmental/smoke) and mobile device farms.
- Select and manage test management, result analytics, defect tracking, and release dashboards.
- Define quality KPIs; publish release health and trend reports.
- Partner with Eng/Product/Sec to define release trains and feature-flag strategies.
- Mentor developers on testability; coordinate external QA vendors when needed.
Requirements
- 6–10+ years in QA; 3+ years building QA processes across multiple surfaces (web, mobile, devices).
- Demonstrated ownership of SIT + regression programs and formal release gates.
- Hands-on with at least two: Playwright/Cypress, Appium/XCUITest/Espresso, pytest/Robot, hardware-in-the-loop frameworks.
- Experience with CI (GitHub Actions/GitLab/Jenkins), artifact versioning, and feature flags.
- Comfortable testing BLE/Wi-Fi/LTE device flows, OTA updates, and cloud APIs.
- Strong defect taxonomy, risk analysis, and root-cause habits.
- Safely operate firearms platforms under supervision from trained and licensed range officers and qualified ARC personnel. Prior experience with firearms is not required.
- This position may require travel up to 10% of the time in support of in-person events including system testing.
