La version française suit Company DescriptionHeadquartered in Montreal, Detroit and Munich, Vention helps manufacturers automate their operations in record time with the only hardware and software AI-powered platform built for the factory floor. Our technology powers over 25,000 machines across 4,000 factories across 5 continents and we have the privilege to work with a significant proportion of Fortune 500 manufacturers, from space rockets, to electrical cars, to robotics. At Vention, you’ll work alongside driven and talented people who care deeply about their craft and the impact they create. We move quickly and aim high, but we do it together with care, collaboration, and respect. Our culture celebrates diverse perspectives and supports your growth through intentional development, robust leadership, and opportunities to make a real difference. Build and lead the Software Reliability function, a new team dedicated to the quality of everything that ships on the machine: MachineMotion controllers, firmware, and the programming platforms. You start with two QA engineers (software and firmware) and grow the team from there. Own the quality of embedded software: On the edge, a shipped bug stays shipped. You run the CRTP and the UAT, you publish the verdict, and you have the authority to delay a release when the quality bar isn't met. The target is zero critical or high severity bugs at the UAT gate. HIL rigs and jigs running nightly regression, results pushed automatically from CI into Qase.
Automated coverage aligned 1:1 with what is manually verified today. Build the E2E safety net on top of the tests development teams write, without relieving them of writing them.



You define the line between unit and integration tests (devs) and E2E harnesses (your team), and you keep developers accountable for the nightly tests they break. Make quality visible: Classify field escapes by root cause and by the test that would have caught them, then close those gaps. between Commissioning and Development. Early debugging of systems in the field, a seat at the weekly support meeting with Customer Success and Commissioning, and dispatching issues to the right team. manual review, architecture of the platform-qa project, and disciplined use of AI-assisted development. A growing volume of generated code demands a correspondingly hard quality gate. 8+ years in software engineering or software quality engineering, including 2+ years managing or technically leading a team. Real edge, embedded, or industrial systems background, not a generalist web QA profile. You understand what it means to ship to a target you can't redeploy in fifteen minutes. Hands-on expertise in hardware test automation: HIL rigs, jigs, instrumentation, long-running soak tests, reproducing intermittent failures. Genuine technical credibility. Python and/or TypeScript, CI/CD, real time or near real time systems. An understanding of physical systems: robotics, motion control, PLC, industrial I/O, automation.



You say no to a release when the data supports it, and you explain it in a way that gets heard rather than routed around. A talent for growing people: coaching, recruiting, giving direct and useful feedback, turning a small team into leverage for the whole organization. You can make a quality stake land with leadership and frame a risk stake for a development team. French and English. You would rather have a dashboard that tells the truth than an opinion about the state of quality. Real opportunities to grow through personalized development plans, bi-annual employee reviews, and mentorship program Continuous training in performance management, inclusive leadership, leadership operating model, team building, and giving/receiving feedback Gender diversity & inclusion: Pay equity reviews, inclusive policies, and a Women’s Employee Resource Group offering networking, mentorship, and quarterly learning sessions. Enjoy flexibility with our hybrid model, allowing you to work from home on select days. Community engagement: Demo Day 2025Culture Video ***********
