Our devices bring together sensing hardware, embedded software and algorithms to deliver measurement and performance insights across golf, baseball and softball.\nOverview\nAs Device Quality Engineering Lead, you will own the cross-product validation system for all Rapsodo devices, including new development and released products. You will build and operate hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing, strengthen system integration and regression coverage, and establish trustworthy evidence of product quality.\nBased in Singapore and reporting directly to the Head of RDO, you will lead two engineers while working closely with Product Leads, Architecture, Firmware, CV/IP, Hardware, Application and Manufacturing teams.\nWe are looking for a hands-on technical leader who writes test code, builds fixtures, debugs integrated devices and develops engineers. You will turn quality risks into repeatable tests and clear release evidence. This is a device-validation and test-engineering role, rather than a manual-testing coordination or factory-inspection role.\nWhat You’ll Do\nOwn Cross-Product Quality & Validation\nDefine risk-based validation plans from early development through release and sustaining, working with engineering owners to establish measurable acceptance criteria.\nMaintain coverage across supported hardware, firmware, model and application combinations; prioritise critical customer workflows, technical risks and field issues.\nAssess existing tests and lab capability, establish coverage and reliability baselines, and build a prioritised cross-product test roadmap.\nBuild & Operate the HIL Farm\nOwn test architecture, device inventory, fixtures, remote access, scheduling and reliable unattended execution across the HIL farm.\nAutomate provisioning, firmware flashing, power cycling, USB/network control, device recovery and capture of diagnostic logs and test artifacts.\nEstablish rig-health checks, reference calibration, safe operation and maintenance; distinguish product defects from rig failures and resolve unreliable tests.\nEngineer Integration & Regression Automation\nPersonally design, code, review and debug reusable test frameworks integrated with CI/CD, including fast change-level checks, nightly regression and release-candidate testing.\nValidate setup, connectivity, sensor capture, synchronisation, computation, measurement delivery and session persistence, including device-to-app and service boundaries.\nExercise firmware updates, interruption and recovery, repeated sessions, connectivity loss, long-running operation and relevant power or resource stress.\nValidate Measurement Performance & Real-World Behaviour\nPartner with Architecture, CV/IP and hardware specialists on reference measurements, tolerances, sample needs and representative operating-envelope coverage.\nGovern versioned Golden Dataset regression, keep validation data separate from algorithm-tuning data, and trace results to hardware, firmware, model, calibration and test conditions.\nKeep data replay, real-device HIL and physical sensor tests distinct. Coordinate indoor/outdoor, equipment, positioning, temperature and endurance testing with the relevant specialists.\nStrengthen Release Readiness & Quality Evidence\nMaintain requirement-to-test traceability and configuration-specific evidence, clearly distinguishing passed, failed, untested and invalid results.\nPublish automated quality views covering critical coverage, actionable regression feedback, flaky or invalid runs, unresolved validation gaps and residual risks.\nWithhold quality sign-off when required evidence or acceptance criteria are unmet, and escalate to the Head of RDO. Final release decisions follow the approved policy; non-waivable requirements remain blockers.\nLead Engineers & Turn Field Issues Into Prevention\nLead and develop two engineers while remaining a substantial hands-on contributor; own the automation backlog, review test code and coordinate shared lab capacity.\nPartner with Product Leads, Support and engineering owners to reproduce field issues, improve diagnostics, verify fixes and add regression tests or other prevention controls.\nMake coverage gaps and resource constraints visible early. Product and functional teams retain responsibility for design quality, unit/subsystem testing and defect correction.\nRequirements\nTypically 8+ years in embedded or connected-device validation, systems test, integration or quality engineering, including technical leadership and experience shipping products.\nDemonstrated hands-on ownership of a HIL farm or automated hardware-test system, including fixtures, instrument control, device recovery and reliable CI execution.\nStrong Python automation and embedded Linux debugging skills; comfortable reading C/C++ and investigating failures through logs, traces, APIs and laboratory instruments.\nExperience designing end-to-end, performance, reliability and interruption/recovery tests, and separating device, firmware, algorithm, application and test-infrastructure failure modes.\nSound judgement in measurement uncertainty, repeatability, test coverage and release evidence, supported by clear communication and experience mentoring engineers.\nA relevant engineering degree or equivalent practical experience.\nCamera/radar, imaging, robotics, computer vision, calibration or sports-measurement experience is valuable. Familiarity with CI/CD, test-result management, field diagnostics and environmental qualification is an advantage.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5594,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Singapore","iso":"SG","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Sports Analytics","Sporting Goods"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-26T08:42:33Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":5,"expected_fill_days":51,"reasons":["conf:2","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-01T06:10:25Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/rapsodo-device-quality-engineering-lead","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/rapsodo-device-quality-engineering-lead.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-02T01:40:06Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":2608,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-03T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":686461},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=686461"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Frapsodo-device-quality-engineering-lead"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Frapsodo-device-quality-engineering-lead"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Frapsodo-device-quality-engineering-lead"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/rapsodo-device-quality-engineering-lead\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Frapsodo-device-quality-engineering-lead"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3265033}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"rapsodo.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3265033},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
