ABOUT SLATE

At Slate, we’re building safe, reliable vehicles that people can afford, personalize and love—and doing it here in the USA as part of our commitment to reindustrialization.

• Write automated tests and user-level test automation tools.
• Create, maintain, and leverage AI-assisted tooling to complement existing QAE skillsets.
• Collaborate with Software Development Engineers to understand product features and technical implementations.
• Work with Product Managers, UX Designers, and Customer Support to understand customer usage models.
• Develop test plans and test suites that approximate real-world environments.
• Find, isolate, document, regress, and track bugs through resolution.
• Create and maintain regression tests.
• Drive the software development process towards quality-centric methodologies.

WHAT YOU BRING TO THE TEAM:

• Bachelor of Science in Computer Science or equivalent work experience.
• 7+ years of professional experience in software Quality Assurance (QA) Engineering.
• 5+ years of professional experience in delivering test frameworks, test tools, and leading QA projects and initiatives.
• Demonstrated knowledge of QA methodology and tools.
• Experience in manual and automated testing.
• Experience in scripting or coding.
• Experience with at least one automated test framework like Playwright/Cypress/TestCafe (web) and/or Selenium/Appium/WebdriverIO (mobile).
• Experience in gathering test requirements to create detailed test plans and defining quality metrics to measure product quality.
• Proven understanding of software internals and an ability to debug problems using log files.
• Experience using AI tools to help complete tasks.

ABOUT US

At Slate, we’ve got one job: building a vehicle you’ll fall in love with, right here in the USA. We believe that car buyers—not car companies—should call the shots. We like looking at a road, not a screen. We don’t like paying for stuff we don’t need. We like picking out the stuff we do need. We think dings are badges, not blemishes. But we know not everyone likes what we like. So, we built you a Slate: you make it yours.
