DroneDeploy
About DroneDeploy DroneDeploy powers field teams with robotics and AI. As the only reality capture platform that combines robotic automation, AI agents, and a truly unified system, DroneDeploy allows critical industries to operate with speed and confidence. From construction and energy to agriculture, the world’s largest companies use DroneDeploy to simplify field operations, improve safety, and make smarter decisions, faster. By combining aerial drones, 360 and fixed cameras, ground robots and proprietary AI, we’re bringing the power of automation and visual intelligence to all stakeholders, from the field to the boardroom. At DroneDeploy, we thrive in a mostly remote-first culture rooted in innovation and impact. We’ve been recognized as a Best Place to Work in the SF Bay Area and named one of America’s Great Places to Work—but what truly sets us apart is the experience you gain: solving real-world challenges with cutting-edge technology, surrounded by teammates who are as passionate as they are supportive. Our team is bold, mission-driven, and building something that matters. We foster a culture where a variety of perspectives drive smart decisions, and where growth—both personal and professional—is part of the journey. Whether it’s flexible schedules, family-friendly benefits, or our strong track record of internal promotions, we invest in people as much as we do in product. If you’re looking to be part of something ambitious, authentic, and transformative, you’ll find your place at DroneDeploy. Team Overview The Aerial Capture team builds the software that gets drones in the air and brings back high-quality data. We focus on drone integration, flight planning, and image capture - spanning the RC flight app, fully autonomous Dock drones, and the workflows that power them: RTK precision, terrain awareness, Livemaps, obstacle avoidance, stand counts, and more. We move fast, we test in the field, and we're scaling autonomous dock operations to new customers and capture subjects every quarter. Quality isn't an afterthought here - it's what makes the next release feel easy. The Aerial Capture team is moving fast — scaling dock drone deployments, testing cutting-edge hardware every day, and pushing quality standards higher with every release. If you want a QA role where you actually fly the drones and your work directly shapes what ships, this is it. Role Summary As Senior QA Engineer, you own the quality bar for everything the Aerial Capture team ships. You'll fly drones daily, define and run test programs, lead acceptance testing on high-risk workflows, and make sure every bug that matters gets caught before it reaches a customer. This is a hands-on, field-first role. You'll be in the air regularly - regression flights, acceptance flights, ad hoc validation - and you'll be the person who knows the product better than anyone. You coordinate with our QA team, keep our regression suites sharp, and surface the metrics that give Product and Engineering real confidence at release time. We're not looking for someone who waits to be told what to test. We want someone who's already thinking about the next edge case, the next regression risk, and the next way to reduce manual testing load without sacrificing coverage.
