Position Summary

A rapidly growing company is seeking a detail-oriented and highly skilled Mid-Level QA Engineer to join the team. This role plays a crucial part in ensuring software and hardware quality, verifying feature implementations, and maintaining stability throughout the development lifecycle.

The QA Engineer will work closely with the development and product teams to define test plans and test cases based on requirements documents or user stories, execute structured test plans, test new features, and validate bug fixes. The successful candidate will be responsible for maintaining test coverage across web and mobile applications, identifying defects, and ensuring products meet high-quality standards before release.

This role is specifically focused on bridging quality on in-house charging station production to ensure both hardware and software meet the company’s quality standards. The QA Engineer will work closely with charging station developers, mechanical engineers, and software engineers to ensure that charging stations are thoroughly tested with an emphasis on quality across the product stack.

In addition to traditional QA responsibilities, this role includes hands-on validation of charging station hardware and real-world system behavior. The ideal candidate will be comfortable working with physical devices, executing real charging scenarios, and validating how software, firmware, and hardware interact under real operating conditions.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and maintain test plans and test cases based on product requirements and system behavior.
• Perform testing across integrated systems (device + backend + application), ensuring correct behavior across system interactions.
• Execute and validate end-to-end charging workflows, including real-world scenarios with vehicle charging sessions.
• Verify system behavior under varying conditions (e.g., multiple vehicles, load distribution, prioritization, and state transitions).
• Validate charging performance, including charge rates and power delivery against expected system behavior.
• Test system behavior under edge conditions (e.g., network interruptions, restarts, partial failures).
• Debug issues across hardware, firmware, backend, and application layers by analyzing logs and observed system behavior.
• Identify, document, and reproduce defects across testing, staging, and production environments.
• Collaborate with engineering, product, and hardware teams to ensure quality across the full system.

Years of Experience

• 3–5 years of experience in QA or testing roles, with a preference for candidates who have demonstrated strong problem-solving ability, ownership, and the ability to ramp quickly in complex, integrated system environments.

Hard Requirements

Technical Skillset

• Strong proficiency in manual testing techniques across software and integrated systems (black box and grey box), including the ability to validate behavior beyond individual features.
• Experience testing or validating integrated systems (device + backend + application), with an understanding of how components interact in real-world scenarios.
• Experience with test case management tools (e.g., TestRail) and ability to design, organize, and maintain effective test coverage.
• Familiarity with project management tools (e.g., JIRA) and working within Agile development environments.
• Experience with API testing tools (e.g., Postman), including validating request/response flows and system integrations.
• Basic knowledge of SQL for data validation and verifying system behavior across backend services.
• Strong working knowledge of UNIX/Linux environments, including the ability to test, observe, and troubleshoot directly on charging station devices.
• Familiarity with Git and command-line tools for navigating codebases, logs, and system environments.
• Ability to interpret and correlate device logs, backend logs, and system outputs to diagnose issues across multiple system layers.
• Strong troubleshooting skills, with the ability to investigate issues across hardware, firmware, and software boundaries.

About the Company

We are a renewable energy and ocean technology company committed to rapidly developing and deploying technologies that will ensure a sustainable future for Earth by unlocking the vast energy potential of its oceans. Our focus is on capturing civilizational levels of ultra-low-cost renewable energy for applications including computing and affordable renewable fuels delivered to shore.

The company is a public benefit corporation headquartered in Portland, Oregon, and backed by leading venture capitalists, philanthropic investors, university endowments, and private investment offices. We operate as an idea meritocracy in which the best ideas change the company’s direction on a regular basis.

About the Job

We are developing a core technology that will operate in the worst conditions the world’s oceans have to offer for years at a time without human maintenance or intervention. As we advance our technology from the prototype phase to commercialization, we need an engineer who can bridge the gap between real-world sensor data and our internal simulation tools. You will be expected to operate our entire stack from end-to-end—running reduced-order physics simulations, managing cloud-based data, and post-processing results. Your work will inform our fleet operations and updates to future designs of our technology. With a fleet in operation, your goal is to ensure that what we see on our screens matches what is happening in the ocean, using fleet data to initialize simulations and diagnosing any anomalies that arise during operations. You will own the digital twin of our fleet - we expect you to have strong experience in both simulation and data acquisition & processing.

Candidates should have strong interpersonal skills and be able to thrive in a creative, scrappy, and collaborative environment in which the best ideas change the company’s direction on a regular basis. If you are an excellent engineer, regardless of your background, we want you to apply.

We are organized as a public benefit corporation and are backed by leading venture capital firms, private investors, philanthropic investors, and endowments.

We strive to be the best engineering team on the planet and we compensate our engineers accordingly.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain the automated process that initializes device states using sensor readings to run real-time simulations in active wave states.
• Develop tools and dashboards that visualize live sensor telemetry side-by-side with simulation outputs for fleet-wide performance monitoring.
• Use fleet data to close the loop on design, providing the ME and Simulation teams with the empirical evidence needed to refine safety factors and performance limits.
• Lead the investigation into "out-of-sample" sensor readings, using non-automated simulations to diagnose anomalies in dynamics, performance, or structural response.
• Serve as a versatile member of the simulation team, capable of running routine analyses, developing new code features, and performing manual "deep-dives" into complex physics problems.

Required qualifications

• BS/MS in Engineering, Physics, or equivalent experience and expertise.
• Strong foundational knowledge in fluid mechanics, structural dynamics, and vibration/resonance.
• Proficiency in Julia and Python, with the ability to build production-ready engineering tools.
• Familiarity with filtering, FFTs, and sensor fusion techniques to clean "noisy" data for simulation input.
• Proven track record of collecting data from physical assets and using it to inform, validate, or initialize numerical simulations.
• Ability to use AI for code generation and efficiency while maintaining the technical intuition to spot errors in the output.

Desired qualifications

• Advanced degree (MS/PhD) in Engineering, Physics, or equivalent experience and expertise.
• Experience with fluid or offshore sensors (ADCPs, pressure sensors, strain gauges).
• Hands-on experience with data acquisition (DAQ) hardware and instrumenting physical test articles.
