Quality Assurance Architect - Robotics & Automation

Our Tokyo Engineering team is rapidly scaling to meet the evolving needs of enterprise customers — from a handful of robots to large fleets operating in live warehouses. We build next-generation logistics automation solutions powered by rapyuta.io, our cloud robotics platform.  As a Quality Assurance Architect, you will architect and own the entire QA ecosystem — spanning test strategy, infrastructure, automation, CI/CD integration, and quality governance across multiple agile teams. You will work hands-on with real and simulated robots, define scalable testing frameworks, and lead initiatives to embed quality into every stage of the product lifecycle.  This is a strategic, high-impact role for a QA professional who thrives in fast-evolving environments and can bring together software, hardware, and systems-level quality engineering into a unified pipeline.    Key Responsibilities  • Collaborate with Product Managers, System Architects, and Agile teams to ensure quality gates across all stages of release. 

• Define and implement an end-to-end QA strategy covering simulation, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL), API, integration, and field-level testing. 

• Build and maintain test automation frameworks (Python/C++/ROS ecosystem) integrated with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, etc.). 

• Design, review, and optimize test plans, test cases, and acceptance criteria in alignment with agile development processes. 

• Set up automated regression, load, and performance testing suites for robotics systems and APIs. 

• Mentor QA and development teams in testing best practices, metrics, and continuous improvement. 

• Drive defect triage and root-cause analysis to prevent recurrence and ensure traceability. 

• Contribute to process maturity and tooling roadmap for organization-wide QA scalability.
