Software Quality Assurance (SQA) Manager

About Us At Pickle Robot, we're on a mission to automate global supply chains with Physical AI. Our robots work alongside warehouse teams to unload trucks and containers — one of the toughest, most understaffed jobs in logistics — making the work safer, faster, and more efficient for the people doing it.  Loading trucks comes next, followed by the Dill Autonomy Engine: generalized autonomy that will eventually orchestrate robots across entire logistics processes. We're looking for an SQA Manager to build Pickle's software quality function from the ground up and own the end-to-end quality lifecycle for our robotic truck unloaders — from test strategy and standards during development, through validation in simulation and hardware-in-the-loop environments, to release readiness in customer facilities. The role blends technical and people leadership. You'll hire and mentor an SQA team, establish scalable processes and automation, define the metrics that tell us whether software is ready to ship, and partner with software, firmware, systems, hardware, product, and deployment teams to build quality in from the start. Your work will directly determine the reliability and scalability of our growing fleet. It's a strong fit for someone who likes building structure where none exists, moves comfortably between strategy and hands-on debugging, and enjoys the messiness of hardware and software meeting the real world.
