Who we are
With its A.I.-powered robotic technology platform, Symbotic is changing the way consumer goods move through the supply chain. Intelligent software orchestrates advanced robots in a high-density, end-to-end system – reinventing warehouse automation for increased efficiency, speed and flexibility.
What we need
We are hiring a Senior Software QA Engineer focused on integration and functional validation from early design through release. In this role, “embedded” means working directly with the software engineering teams that tie together real-time orchestration, robotics, on-prem and edge components, and customer-facing experiences—end-to-end behavior where hardware, services, and timing meet. We are looking for an individual to collaboratively enhance manual test strategies, automated test coverage, best practices, feedback loops, and release readiness. If you thrive on taking ownership and building partnerships in a cross-functional environment, you will fit our culture.
What we do
We validate integrated workflows and functional behavior across varied test setups. We reproduce real-world conditions, detect defects across system layers, and enhance the quality of cross-team deliverables. Our work ties technical rigor to fewer surprises and faster confidence at release.
What you'll do
Lead test planning, manage test scope and risk assessment, and report test results
Design and execute integration, functional, user workflow and regression testing
Test software in simulation, virtualization, and integrated system environments
Detect, triage, and track issues across software, services, APIs, and test infrastructure
Validate API contracts, data flow, and system behavior under load for latency and resiliency
Partner with engineering, automation, and product teams to ensure release quality
Mentor peers, improve playbooks, and evolve test strategy, tooling, and team capabilities
Influence test architecture and release readiness enhancements across teams
Contribute to automation efforts and drive component-level quality improvements
What you'll need
Required qualifications
Bachelor's degree in computer science, related field, or equivalent practical experience
Minimum of five years in software QA, systems validation, or integration testing
Hands-on experience with integration and functional testing in distributed systems
Proficiency with testing and debugging APIs, messaging, or asynchronous architecture
Testing experience in simulation, emulation, or hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) contexts
Scripting to automate validation or extend coverage (e.g., C#, Python, Bash)
Demonstrated collaboration and learning agility in rapid technical environments
Preferred qualifications
Familiarity with test automation frameworks (tool-agnostic) and CI integration
Experience with playbooks and microservices (e.g., Linux, Ansible, Kubernetes, etc.)
Exposure to cloud-based architecture and testing practices in hybrid systems
Knowledge of data processing and persistence (e.g., Kafka, SQL, RabbitMQ, etc.)
Background in mentoring or driving process and test best practices across teams
