Senior Robotics Manual QA Engineer

The Axon SkyHero Firmware team in the Robotics New Ventures Pillar supports critical Drone offerings for Special Forces and Law Enforcement. These Drones work together harmoniously to provide Tactical Reconnaissance and Advantage during critical and stressful missions. Both aerial and ground robots are developed. We are actively working on truly disruptive innovative next-generation Drone technology that we strongly believe will advance our mission to Protect Life. The Axon SkyHero Firmware team is a key team responsible for drone integration, with ownership of the “Lower-level Middleware” layers on a very powerful Embedded Linux System-on-Chip and the Flight Controller. All firmware aspects related to “Flying” are handled by this team, and this team collaborates very closely with an adjacent team of Controls and Vision Engineers. As a strong Robotics Quality Assurance Sr. Engineer on the SkyHero Firmware team, you’ll be the first line of defense to ensure our next-generation drones fly, drive and have the responsiveness our Customers demand. You think with a critical and creative mind. You will derive complex Test Plans and Test Cases for our drones, thinking about the whole drone eco-system, with laser-focus on how they actually fly and drive. You will work with flight simulators, world-class Motion Capture Rooms (MoCap), and a variety of other lab bench equipment. In addition to manual testing, you will optimize your test efficiency by writing scripts in Python with AI-assistance that helps control the drones, parse log files, etc. You will collaborate with Firmware Engineers, Controls Engineers, Product Managers, Software Test Automation Engineers and other Robotics QA Engineers to achieve the best possible quality output. Working on these next-generation robotics products Axon is building is not only a career-defining accomplishment, but also a real opportunity to help advance the mission to Protect Life.
