Sr. QA Engineer

Description

You will set the direction for quality on the Duro Design team, building the systems that let hardware engineers depend on the platform daily.

You will work across the whole stack, from frontend interfaces to backend services, and help build confidence into design, release, and operations. You will work closely with engineering, product, and DevOps in a fast-moving, largely self-directed setting.

The team values engineers who reason about risk as a system, are comfortable experimenting, and use modern AI-assisted workflows to raise quality across the organization.

The company is an embedded semiconductor solution provider serving automotive, industrial, infrastructure, and IoT markets. It has over 22,000 employees in more than 30 countries.

The team's stance is that it does not hire testers. It hires engineers who raise the quality bar. Its stated priorities are architectural intuition, precise communication, pattern recognition, product taste, and curiosity about improving how it builds.

The team looks for people who can read a roadmap, predict where quality risk will concentrate, and design systems that let teams ship quickly and with confidence.

Responsibilities

• Define and evolve the end-to-end quality strategy, deciding what gets tested, at which layer, and how coverage reflects real user risk.
• Design and maintain scalable unit, integration, and end-to-end test infrastructure using frameworks such as Vitest, Jest, and Playwright.
• Work with product and engineering early so features are testable by design and quality is built in before code reaches production.
• Validate React interfaces, GraphQL APIs, and PostgreSQL data integrity to keep the whole system reliable.
• Build and refine test pipelines in GitHub Actions or similar tools, balancing speed, coverage, and confidence in deployments.
• Use PostHog session replays, feature flags, and analytics to catch regressions, surface edge cases, and find risk before it lands.
• Use AI-assisted development workflows to generate test scaffolding, explore edge cases, and move faster without lowering standards.
• Lead regression analysis and incident retrospectives, turning defects into system-level fixes that make the product more resilient over time.

Requirements

• You have 8+ years of professional experience in software quality engineering, or in software engineering with strong ownership of quality systems.
• You hold a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field.
• You are strong in TypeScript and in modern testing frameworks such as Vitest, Jest, and Playwright.
• You have tested React frontends and GraphQL-based APIs.
• You have worked with PostgreSQL and checked data integrity across service layers.
• You have designed and maintained CI/CD pipelines in GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or similar tools.
• You think architecturally and can design quality systems that scale and stay maintainable.
• You communicate clearly in writing and speaking.
• You work well in autonomous, fast-paced settings.
• You have a product mindset and can anticipate risk across the full feature lifecycle.
• You have built PLM, PDM, or hardware and manufacturing industry software.
• You have experience with performance, load, or stress testing.
• You have used visual regression tools such as Percy, Chromatic, or BackstopJS.
• You are familiar with contract testing, such as Pact or similar.
• You have defined release readiness criteria or quality SLAs.
• You have worked in AI-augmented development environments.

Conditions

The base salary range is $150,000 to $175,000 per year. Final pay depends on factors such as skill set, years and depth of experience, certifications, and location.

The role is hybrid, with 3 days per week in the Los Angeles, CA office. The company's in-office days are Tuesday through Thursday, and employees can work remotely the other two days.

The company deals with dual-use technology subject to U.S. export controls, so it may need a U.S. government export license before sharing technology with certain people.

The company is an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer.

Benefits

• Elective benefits include medical, a health savings account (with an applicable medical plan), dental, vision, health and/or dependent care flexible spending accounts, pre-tax commuter benefits, life insurance, AD&D, and pet insurance.
• Benefited employees also receive company-paid life insurance and AD&D, long-term disability, short-term medical, paid sick time, paid holidays, and accrued paid vacation.
• New employees attend a benefits orientation that covers the full range of benefits and resources.
