What is a QA Engineer at Motive?
As a QA Engineer at Motive, you will play a critical role in ensuring the reliability, safety, and performance of a highly complex, real-time IoT and fleet management ecosystem. Motive builds physical hardware (like dashcams and vehicle gateways), mobile applications for drivers, and enterprise web portals for fleet managers. Because these products directly affect driver safety, regulatory compliance, and business operations, the quality standards are exceptionally high. A single bug could disrupt a driver's logbook, leading to compliance violations or safety risks on the road.
Your work will span across multiple domains, requiring you to validate high-throughput APIs, ensure hardware-software synchronization, and build robust automated test suites. At Motive, QA is not a passive, downstream activity. You will be expected to embed yourself within the development lifecycle, championing quality from the initial design phase to final deployment. This is a fast-paced environment where the product evolves rapidly, and you must design test frameworks that can scale alongside this growth.
This role is highly technical and demands a strong engineering mindset. You will not simply be executing manual test scripts; you will be writing clean, maintainable automation code, setting up testing environments, and diagnosing complex system behaviors. Successful QA Engineers at Motive are proactive, deeply analytical, and comfortable navigating ambiguity in a rapidly shifting technical landscape.
