Senior Quality Software Engineer

We are seeking a Senior Quality Software Engineer to own the quality function for Core Engineering. You will build the test automation infrastructure, set the coverage standard, make quality measurable and visible, and issue go/no-go recommendations that leadership can act on.

What You Will Do

Own the test automation framework across Rust and Python, covering unit, integration, regression, and scenario-level testing. Integrate test suites into CI/CD with enforced gates at every stage, including security checks (SAST, dependency scanning, vulnerability).

Why It Might Be a Fit

You will be a foundational hire, building QE for Core Engineering from zero, owning the metrics and dashboards that drive release decisions, and engaging with program and mission stakeholders on quality outcomes.

Requirements

• 7+ years in software QE, with a track record of building test infrastructure, not inheriting it.
• Engineering fundamentals to match: test code is production quality, test harnesses are maintained like products.
• Python required; Rust or a clear plan to get there.
• Hands-on CI/CD integration: you've built the gates, debugged the flakes, and enforced the blocks.
• Owned quality dashboards and metrics that drive go/no-go decisions.
• Fluent in distributed and concurrent systems and how they fail.
• Integrated security testing into CI/CD (SAST, dependency scanning, compliance validation aligned to NIST 800-171 or equivalent).
• Designed test infrastructure that respects security boundaries and vendor guardrails while supporting restricted core components.
• Background in defence, robotics, aerospace, or autonomous systems.
• US Citizenship with ability to obtain a security clearance.

Benefits

• Comprehensive medical, dental, and visions plans
• 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan with company match
• Equity grants for new hires
• Unlimited PTO
• 11 Paid holidays
• Generous Parental Leave
• Military Leave for annual training or service requirements
• FSA
• DCFSA
• HSA
• Professional Development Opportunities
• Access to One Medical
