Job summary

Rhoda AI in Mountain View, CA is seeking a Software QA Engineer to ensure the readiness of our robotics software for clients. You will own test plans, run release qualifications, and perform testing across robots, simulation, cloud, and model serving environments.

You will write automated tests in Python and C++, debug complex issues from logs to code, and build tooling to drive quality across product releases. The role emphasizes strong communication and rigorous verification.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of industry experience in software QA or test engineering on complex products (cloud services, AI/ML systems, robotics, or similar).
• Experience owning test plans and release sign-off, including writing and executing test cases.
• Solid debugging: read logs, use Linux and the command line, and narrow a failure to code, configuration, data, or hardware.
• Strong programming skills in Python and C++, writing test code and tools to the same review standard as product code.
• Clear written communication: bug reports, release reports, and root-course analysis.

Responsibilities

• Own the test plan for the program's software: what to test, how, and what qualifies as ready to ship.
• Run release qualification and sign-off that a software release can go to production.
• Test new features and regressions in environments the software runs in (robots, simulation, cloud, model serving).
• Find, reproduce, and isolate software defects, driving root cause to a fix with the owning team.
• Write automated tests for the program's software on Engineering Productivity frameworks and keep them meaningful as product changes.
• Build test tools: scripts to drive the system under test, collect logs, and report results.
• Track quality: escaped defects, regression trends, and release readiness.
