• Field testing - Daily drone flights for regression, acceptance, and validation. You need physical space to fly (e.g. 10+ acres accessible from your location) and the judgment to run a high-quality flight program on your own. • Test planning and execution - Define comprehensive test plans for new features and releases. Know the requirements better than the PM or EM. Catch edge cases before anyone else sees them. • QA team coordination - Design and schedule QA test programs, write clear plans and checklists, and reduce back-and-forth so QA is never the bottleneck. • Bug reporting quality - Own the bug reporting rubric (repro steps, severity, exposure, context, logs, media) and enforce it so triage is plug-and-play - no validation pass needed to understand a ticket. • Regression strategy - Manage Dock, Android, and iOS regression suites. Own the "regression found" playbook. Make sure the suites actually test user workflows and catch what matters. • Automated testing - Build and maintain automation to reduce manual testing load and increase confidence. AI-first approach to test setup, maintenance, and analysis. • Quality metrics - Track post-release bugs per feature, escalation patterns, QA throughput, and SLO-violating issues. Use them to improve processes and focus QA resources where they reduce risk most. • Equipment and environments - Maintain Qase suites, device/drone inventory, firmware tracking, and internal QA tooling. No fire drills because something wasn't set up.
• Create end-to-end test plan and execute the plan • Manage testing and defect tracking • Lead testing strategies for technology projects • Work with management to utilize automated test scripts • Identify functional testing tasks for overall schedule
• Architect and execute comprehensive test plans and detailed test cases—both manual and automated—to validate feature functionality and system reliability. • Design and implement end-to-end UI and API integration tests using our proprietary testing framework, ensuring seamless interoperability across the front-end and back-end layers. • Develop, maintain, and enhance automated test suites, leveraging tools and frameworks to catch regressions and accelerate release cycles. • Collaborate closely with product and engineering teams to dissect requirements, review designs, and ensure testability from the earliest stages. • Triage, document, and track all defects—providing clear reproduction steps, impact assessments, and suggested remediation strategies. • Present concise test reports and risk analyses to stakeholders, highlighting critical issues and recommending prioritization. • Engage actively in sprint ceremonies (planning, stand-ups, demos, retrospectives) to champion quality every step of the way. • Conduct thorough regression and integration testing after each code change to verify fixes and prevent unintended side effects. • Keep QA deliverables—test plans, cases, scripts, and results—organized, versioned, and easily accessible for audits and knowledge sharing. • Continuously research and adopt emerging QA best practices, tools, and methodologies to enhance our testing capabilities and efficiency.
