The Elevator Pitch
Are you a Senior SQA Engineer who thrives in a dynamic, fast-paced environment testing both hardware and software? Do you want to help validate new hardware, firmware, and software for Evolv’s Express and Expedite products—and play a critical role in supporting our growing fleet in the field?
Evolv is seeking a Senior SQA Engineer to design test plans, validate new features, and ensure quality across our physical product lines. This role is essential for qualifying new hardware, supporting existing systems in production, and driving quality across Express, Expedite, and Evolv’s next‑generation platforms.
Success in the Role:What performance outcomes will you work toward completing?
In 30 days, you will:
- Build a foundational understanding of Evolv’s product ecosystem, especially the Express platform architecture and core features.
- Perform manual regression and functional testing on new and existing capabilities.
- Learn Evolv’s SQA toolchain, including automation frameworks, CI/CD workflows, and SDLC processes.
- Become comfortable using Jira, Test Rail, and internal reporting tools.
- Assist in debugging test failures, documenting issues, and collaborating with engineering teams to understand root causes.
In 3 months, you will:
- Take ownership of manual testing tasks across key functional areas of the Express and Expedite platforms.
- Identify test cases that could benefit from automation and contribute to the automation backlog.
- Suggest small improvements to test processes, documentation, or tooling.
- Support release‑readiness testing and help deliver clear quality updates for Express releases.
Within 12 months, you will:
- Develop subject‑matter expertise in multiple functional areas of Express and Expedite.
- Become a reliable resource for testing new features, validating fixes, and understanding system behavior.
- Provide input during feature planning and design discussions from an SQA perspective.
- Contribute to the ongoing improvement of Evolv’s testing practices, documentation, and quality processes.
