About the role:The QA/Automation engineer will help set and build the technical strategy for testing at tulip. Specifically, it requires the ability to test Tulip’s rapid cadence of releases, and at the same time execute on longer-term goals to design and write tools to ensure our QA capabilities scale. At Tulip, we have three different release cycles – one each for hardware, embedded software, and the web. Each cycle has its own challenges and testing strategy. On the web side, we use standard Selenium-based tools for integration testing. On the Hardware side, there’s less off-the-shelf, but automation is just as importantAbout Tulip:Tulip is the first Platform-as-a-Service for manufacturing. We’re disrupting one of the largest industries in the world and empowering the people who make the things you interact with every day. Factories that are run with Tulip are more efficient, their workers are more productive, and they make fewer mistakes. Why? Because manufacturing apps guide and provide them with the right information at the right time. We call it bottom-up digital transformation.
