Senior QA Engineer - DroneDeploy at Procore Technologies in US - California - San Francisco

Job description

• We are looking for a Senior QA Engineer to own the quality bar for everything the Aerial Capture team ships. As the Senior QA Engineer on our Aerial Capture team, you will work closely with Product Management, Engineering, and field QA teams to define test programs, lead acceptance testing on high-risk workflows, and ensure high quality across our drone software and hardware integrations. Your strengths in hardware/mobile QA, automated test frameworks, and AI-driven testing workflows will drive your success.
• This role will be based in Bay Area, CA or Austin, TX. Travel 1–2 times per quarter to customer sites and/or field locations is required to run flight tests and validate real-world workflows.

Responsibilities

• Execute daily flight testing for regression, acceptance, and validation, operating with access to sufficient flight space (10+ acres) to ensure reliable real-world data capture.
• Define and execute comprehensive test plans for new software features and releases, identifying potential edge cases early to maintain product quality.
• Coordinate QA team programs, schedule testing workflows, and create clear documentation to optimize throughput and eliminate testing bottlenecks.
• Enforce bug reporting standards (repro steps, severity, exposure, logs, media) to streamline issue triage and resolution across product and engineering teams.
• Manage regression testing suites across Dock, Android, and iOS platforms, executing playbooks that validate core end-to-end user workflows.
• Implement AI-first approach and automation tooling to accelerate test design, regression maintenance, bug triage, and first-pass code resolutions.
• Track and analyze quality metrics—including post-release bugs, escalation trends, and throughput—to optimize testing focus and reduce deployment risk.
• Maintain device/drone inventory, firmware tracking, test case management (Qase), and internal QA environments to prevent operational disruptions.

Requirements

• 4+ years of experience in quality engineering or QA for hardware, mobile, or autonomous/robotics products.
• Hands-on experience testing mobile applications (Android/iOS) using frameworks such as Appium, Espresso, or Detox.
• Proven ability to write code or scripts (Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, or similar) to build test automation and streamline manual testing processes.
• FAA Part 107 Certificate (or the ability to obtain certification upon hire).
• Demonstrated experience using AI tools for test setup, defect analysis, log triage, or code-level bug evaluation.
• Practical experience managing test suites via platforms like Qase and defect tracking systems like Jira.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills with a track record of driving cross-functional alignment.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, CircleCI, Jenkins), API testing, and embedded firmware or RTK/PPK workflows.
• Robotics, Geospatial, or Autonomous Systems QA Engineering
• Mobile & Embedded Hardware Quality Assurance
• Drone Operations & Field Testing Management
• Automated Software Test Engineering (Python/TypeScript)
