Job Description
As a Senior Software Production Engineer, you lead the strategy and implementation of production-grade deployment systems for drones - covering microcontroller firmware and embedded Linux platforms. You will own the end-to-end rollout toolchain, define quality gates, drive cross-functional root-cause efforts, and deliver scalable, reliable, auditable processes that support production ramp and continuous improvement.
You will work closely with stakeholders from our software development teams (Embedded and embedded Linux) as well as our test and integration team and our manufacturing team to streamline and optimize the software rollouts during production. By ensuring high quality and efficient software deployment pipelines, you will support Quantum Systems in its mission to become the benchmark for aerial data collection solutions with unmanned aerial systems (sUAV).
What is your Day to Day Mission:
• Architect and own end-to-end production deployment pipelines for:
• Microcontroller firmware: flashing, verification, configuration/calibration injection, rollback strategy.
• NVIDIA Orin embedded Linux: image creation/deployment, provisioning, secure updates, boot reliability, and recovery.
• Define and implement robust production tooling: flashing stations, automation scripts, artifact/version management, logs/metrics, and operator-friendly UIs/workflows.
• Establish quality gates and release readiness criteria for production software (test coverage expectations, acceptance thresholds, rollback plans).
• Lead complex debugging across hardware, firmware, bootloaders, OS, and factory test systems—drive corrective actions and long-term prevention.
• Scale processes for throughput: reduce flashing time, minimize manual steps, and improve stability and repeatability across lines / sites (International).
• Own traceability and compliance requirements: per-unit SW versioning, configuration baselines, device identity, and audit-ready records.
• Mentor engineers and production support; set standards for documentation, incident response, and postmortems.
• Partner with Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, and R&D to influence product design for manufacturability and serviceability (DFM/DFS from a software angle).
