Delivering a successful robotaxi offering is the result of a harmonious convergence between software, operations, services, and end-users. Testing these entities as a comprehensive system on a continuous basis is a complex endeavor that requires creative, innovative engineering—requiring a myriad of skills and talents.
As the In-vehicle Software QA Manager, you will be tasked with managing a high-performing team of SDETs and QAEs to design and implement complex system tests that need to be continuously executed. This responsibility requires cross-functional collaboration with developers, product managers, TPMs, designers, and the PMO. Partnering with your manager, you will also provide success metrics and propose plans for team growth and development. You will also demonstrate current hands-on technical skills, and managerial ability, and have a “shift-left” mentality—focusing on pushing quality upstream.

In this role, you will:

  • Own the technical direction for quality and testing for Zoox’s in-vehicle services software components and systems.
  • Work with the Services QA manager to establish a roadmap and metrics for success.
  • Propose data-driven testing solutions and designs for automated system testing by evaluating current test automation frameworks and tooling gaps.
  • Manage a team of highly technical SDETs and functional QAEs to deliver products on a two-week sprint cycle.
  • Work with technical program managers to establish delivery goals, timelines, and productivity metrics.
  • Work cross-functionally with the rest of the QA organization and PMO to deliver Zoox’s vision as a comprehensive product.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science or a related STEM field.
  • 10+ years of experience as a hands-on technical tester or developer.
  • 3+ years of experience performing managerial duties that include resource balancing, project management, people management, and team growth and development.
  • Proficient in one or more high-level development languages (e.g., Python, JavaScript, C++, etc.).
  • Experience with integrating multiple test frameworks to form a cohesive system testing solution.

Bonus Qualifications

  • Previous experience in the AV industry.
  • Previous experience managing DevOps and creating CI/CD solutions.
  • Experience with designing and implementing mobile test automation solutions.
