About FlytBase
At FlytBase, we’re not just creating a product—we’re on a zero-to-one journey, building a whole new global category that’s never existed before.
What does that mean? We’re on a mission to unlock the world’s third dimension with fully autonomous drones. It’s the first of its kind. Therefore, everything we do requires first-principle thinking, bold experimentation, and a willingness to push boundaries.
If you’re bored of cookie-cutter playbooks and ready for something fresh, exciting (and yes, involving drones), this is your place.
Don’t believe it? Challenge us—We’d be more than happy to tell you why we’re so confident in what we’re building!
Role and Responsibilities
- Test Infrastructure Leadership: Design and own frameworks for manual + automated testing across simulator, drone, and hardware-in-loop environments.
- Hands-on Testing: Personally validate core software modules, APIs, mission logic, and edge-case scenarios.
- Systems Thinking: Create test strategies that scale across fleets, geographies, and client configurations.
- Bug Ownership: Triaging, logging, root-cause analysis, and follow-up—done with clarity and urgency.
- Cross-Team Collaboration: Work closely with Engineering, Product, and DevOps to prevent regressions and build testability from Day 1.
- Process Evolution: Continuously improve our QA culture, tooling, and discipline.
- Mentorship: Guide junior QA engineers with high standards, sharp feedback, and goal alignment.
Best suited for candidates who
Who You Are
- 3–5 years of experience testing domain.
- Experience in Hardware-software systems (UAVs, robotics, embedded systems) is preferred.
- Comfortable with real-world testing: regressions, field logs, test plans, system-level validations
- Experience with scripting & automation (Python preferred; Bash/JS a bonus)
- Strong communicator—can explain bugs, edge cases, and root causes clearly to both engineers and execs
- Proactive, structured, obsessed with detail—but not blocked by it
- Bonus: Familiarity with drone mission planning, GCS tools, ArduPilot/PX4, or safety-critical certifications
What Makes You a Flyter
- Ownership Without Oversight: You define what “tested” means—and ship accordingly
- Velocity Over Perfection: You know when to automate and when to explore manually
- Clarity in Chaos: Field bugs. Conflicting logs. Incomplete repros. You thrive in it
- AI-Native Mindset: You use LLMs to write test cases, triage logs, and document findings
- You Treat QA as a Product: You care about user experience, edge behavior, and silent failures
What We Don’t Want
- Manual-only testers waiting for Jira tickets
- People who test just for coverage, not confidence
- Bug reporters who don’t debug
- Siloed QA who avoid architecture-level understanding
- Anyone who says "That's not my job”
