Engineer, Quality Assurance
About Aigent Energy
AGent is building the leading software platform to optimize distributed generation resources — turning energy liabilities into reliable, monetizable assets. We bring AI to the aggregation, orchestration, and monetization of distributed generation in wholesale and retail power markets, delivering meaningful reliability, economic, and sustainability benefits to commercial, institutional, and industrial energy users, utilities, and grid operators.
We move fast, think big, and operate with a lean, high-trust team. Every hire matters here.
About the role
AGent is seeking a skilled Quality Assurance Engineer to own testing and quality across our entire technology stack — from cloud backend and IoT device communication to embedded firmware and customer-facing applications. This is a mission-critical role at a company where reliability isn't a nice-to-have: when our platform tells a generator to run, it has to run. Every time.
You'll work at the intersection of cloud infrastructure, embedded systems, and real-time energy operations — designing and executing test strategies that ensure our platform performs flawlessly across all layers. You'll partner closely with our Cloud Backend, Application Engineering, and Embedded teams to catch issues early, build robust automated test coverage, and raise the quality bar across everything AGent ships.
This is a hands-on, end-to-end QA role for someone who takes pride in being the last line of defense before code reaches production — and who understands that in critical energy infrastructure, quality is never negotiable.
Responsibilities
End-to-End Test Strategy & Execution
- Design, build, and maintain comprehensive test strategies that cover the full AGent platform — cloud backend, IoT device communication, embedded firmware, and customer-facing application layers
- Develop and execute functional, integration, regression, and end-to-end test suites across all platform components
- Own test planning for new features and releases, working closely with engineering leads to ensure quality is built in from the start — not bolted on at the end
- Maintain clear documentation of test coverage, results, and known issues across the platform
Cloud & Backend Testing
- Test AWS infrastructure components including IoT Core device provisioning, Lambda functions, and data ingestion pipelines
- Validate TimescaleDB schema performance and data integrity under high-volume, high-frequency telemetry loads
- Test API integrations, data pipelines, and backend services for reliability, accuracy, and performance at scale
IoT & Embedded Testing
- Develop and execute test protocols for IoT device communication, provisioning workflows, and command handling between cloud and embedded systems
- Partner with the Embedded Engineering team to validate firmware behavior, device-to-cloud messaging, and real-time control event accuracy
- Build test environments and simulation frameworks that replicate real-world generator behavior and edge conditions
Automation & CI/CD Integration
- Build and maintain automated test suites integrated into AGent's CI/CD pipelines via GitHub Actions
- Implement automated regression coverage that catches issues before they reach production
- Continuously improve test efficiency, coverage, and reliability through automation and tooling
Quality Advocacy & Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Partner with Cloud Backend, Application, and Embedded Engineering teams throughout the development lifecycle — not just at the end
- Identify, document, and track bugs with clear reproduction steps and prioritization recommendations
- Contribute to post-incident reviews and help drive process improvements that prevent recurrence
- Actively use Claude AI and other AI tools to accelerate test case generation, documentation, and defect analysis — and bring a continuous improvement mindset to how AI can raise quality across the team
