GSR is poised to become one of the world’s great digital product categories (think GPS, MRI, and LMM). Our flagship GSR product, Quidient Reality®, is a powerful API that enables anyone with a mobile device to virtualize, visualize, and measure anything. Words relevant to Quidient include Generative AI, Physics-Informed AI, Large Scene Models (LSMs), Large World Models (LWMs), and API-First. Overview We’re seeking Senior SDET with a strong background in iOS development, device profiling, and automated testing. You will own end-to-end quality across our front-end iOS stack, ensuring reliability, performance, and release readiness for Quidient’s Edge applications. This role is highly hands-on, requiring excellent engineering instincts, strong debugging skills, and a passion for improving code quality and test coverage. This is a hybrid position, meaning that you will need to live within easy driving distance to our Technology Center in Columbia, Maryland. What You’ll Do Own, Build, & Automate Lead QA testing for iOS applications, including feature validation, regression coverage, and performance profiling across multiple device types. Build and maintain automated test infrastructure using CI/CD frameworks. Develop and run profiling workflows to identify and diagnose performance constraints in CPU, GPU, memory, thermal behavior, and resource usage. Integrate and validate compiled artifacts (Objective-C, C, C++) delivered by algorithm teams, ensuring compatibility and stability. Create clear, repeatable test plans and documentation for features, test harnesses, tools, and findings. Collaborate across iOS, Algo, Solutions, and CX teams to reproduce, troubleshoot, and resolve issues from field tests or customer feedback. Contribute to continuous improvement of release workflows, code quality, and automated testing coverage. Build dashboards and reporting systems that surface test results, performance metrics, and regression signals to engineering leadership. Support long-term efforts to expand automation and eventually manage or influence human-in-the-loop testing processes. What You Bring
