Qa Engineer

QA Engineer

BrainChip · Laguna Hills, CA · Hybrid

About the Role

This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to join a company redefining how artificial intelligence is built and deployed.

BrainChip is the global leader in neuromorphic edge AI, pioneering a fundamentally new approach to computing inspired by the human brain. Its Akida platform processes only meaningful data at the point of acquisition, enabling real-time AI with dramatically lower power consumption, faster response times, and greater efficiency than traditional systems.

We are hiring a QA Engineer to play a critical role in integration and validation across real-world systems. You will be responsible for ensuring that new features work end-to-end before reaching customers, operating at the intersection of product, engineering, and real-world deployment.

This is a hands-on, high-impact role for someone who wants to work on cutting-edge AI technology and see their work directly shape how products perform in the real world.

What You’ll Do

• Execute end-to-end integration and validation of new features across real customer workflows
• Install, configure, and test systems to ensure functionality works as expected
• Follow technical requirements to run and validate test cases with clear pass and fail outcomes
• Identify gaps or inconsistencies in instructions and partner with engineering teams to resolve them
• Act as a final quality checkpoint before products reach customers
• Troubleshoot issues across installation, configuration, and system behavior
• Work closely with Software, Hardware, and Pre-Sales Engineering teams
• Use tools such as VS Code, Jira, Linux environments, and FPGA toolchains like Xilinx Vivado

What We’re Looking For

• 3 to 7 years of experience in QA, Test Engineering, or Software Engineering
• Experience working with physical systems, embedded environments, or device-level testing
• Exposure to integration or system-level validation
• Comfortable working independently and executing against defined requirements
• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills
• Familiarity with VS Code, Jira, and Linux
• High attention to detail and strong ownership mindset

What Will Set You Apart

• Experience with FPGA environments or tools like Xilinx Vivado
• Exposure to AI or machine learning frameworks such as PyTorch
• Background in semiconductor, embedded, or systems-focused companies
• Hands-on or hobbyist experience working with devices or boards

Why BrainChip

• Pioneer in brain-inspired computing, mimicking how neurons process information for more efficient AI
• Technology that enables real-time intelligence directly on devices without relying on the cloud
• Platform designed to deliver ultra-low power AI with faster, more efficient processing across real-world applications
• Fast-growing company at the center of the shift toward edge AI and next-generation computing
