QA/QC - Integrations

Tycho.AI•Cambridge, MA

About The Position

As an Integrations QA/QC Engineer, you will ensure the reliability, functionality, and integration quality of complex hardware systems across our autonomous platforms. This role will focus on validating subsystem integrations spanning avionics, compute, sensors, communications, power systems, embedded electronics, and autonomy-enabling hardware.

Requirements

3+ years of experience in hardware QA/QC, systems integration, validation engineering, or test engineering
Experience working with complex electromechanical or embedded systems
Strong hands-on debugging and troubleshooting skills across hardware and integrated systems
Experience executing structured test plans and documenting validation results
Comfortable working in Linux-based and embedded system environments
Strong organizational and cross-functional communication skills
Ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced startup environment

Nice To Haves

Experience with UAVs, robotics, aerospace, defense, or autonomous systems
Familiarity with RF systems, telemetry, networking, or sensor integration
Experience supporting hardware bring-up and prototype development cycles
Exposure to manufacturing quality systems and production test processes
Experience with environmental, vibration, thermal, or reliability testing
Familiarity with embedded software validation or hardware/software integration workflows
Experience with scripting or automation tools for test execution and data analysis (Python, Bash, etc.)
Knowledge of safety-critical system validation practices

Responsibilities

Collaborate on the development and execution of QA/QC processes for integrated hardware systems and autonomous platforms
Create and maintain integration test plans, validation procedures, acceptance criteria, and quality documentation
Validate subsystem interoperability across compute, sensors, RF systems, embedded electronics, power systems, networking, and mechanical assemblies
Perform system-level integration testing, environmental testing, bring-up, and troubleshooting activities
Support hardware verification efforts, including functional, regression, stress, and reliability testing
Coordinate closely with electrical, mechanical, embedded software, autonomy, and manufacturing teams during integration and validation activities
Investigate hardware failures, integration defects, and intermittent system issues; drive root-cause analysis and corrective actions
Support hardware-in-the-loop (HIL), bench, and field testing activities for autonomous systems
Assist with manufacturing quality processes, incoming inspections, and production validation workflows as needed
Improve test infrastructure, automation tools, data collection processes, and release readiness criteria
Track quality metrics and integration issues to support rapid development cycles and continuous improvement
