Responsibilities

Execute daily flight testing for regression, acceptance, and validation, operating with access to sufficient flight space (10+ acres) to ensure reliable real-world data capture.
Define and execute comprehensive test plans for new software features and releases, identifying potential edge cases early to maintain product quality.
Coordinate QA team programs, schedule testing workflows, and create clear documentation to optimize throughput and eliminate testing bottlenecks.
Enforce bug reporting standards (repro steps, severity, exposure, logs, media) to streamline issue triage and resolution across product and engineering teams.
Manage regression testing suites across Dock, Android, and iOS platforms, executing playbooks that validate core end-to-end user workflows.
Implement AI-first approach and automation tooling to accelerate test design, regression maintenance, bug triage, and first-pass code resolutions.
Track and analyze quality metrics—including post-release bugs, escalation trends, and throughput—to optimize testing focus and reduce deployment risk.
Maintain device/drone inventory, firmware tracking, test case management (Qase), and internal QA environments to prevent operational disruptions.
