About

Skip is on a mission to make life joyful through powered movement.
Movement is a powerful way to build physical, mental and social health. Yet it is elusive for 2 billion people due to age, injury, or disability. We are building productsthat will restore mobility for millions and enable a new frontier of joyful movement experiences. We want to build a future where a grandparent can easily outrun their grandkids and no one is left behind at the trailhead.
Skip is a 20-person early-stage start-up that spun out of Google X in 2023. With deep cross-disciplinary expertise and key partnerships (e.g. with Arc’teryx) we are uniquely positioned to launch the first commercially successful
wearable robotic device , the
MO/GO , develop a platform to launch
future Movewear products
and transform millions of lives in the coming years.
The Role We're looking for a QA Engineer who can own software quality end-to-end — from a user unboxing the device for the first time to data syncing reliably on Google Cloud. You'll operate across web, mobile, backend API, and device/IoT layers in a fast-moving sprint cycle where 1–2 engineers need to punch far above their weight.
This is a hands-on IC role. You'll build the automation infrastructure that makes scaling our test suite possible, design mock environments, and collaborate closely with firmware, app, and cloud engineers to bridge the gap between unit-level coverage and full regression suites.
What You'll Own Design and execute end-to-end test plans covering the full user journey — device unboxing, app onboarding, BLE pairing, charging modes, and cloud data sync
Participate in EVT/DVT hardware-software integration testing and Hardware-in-Loop (HIL) test planning
Build and maintain automation frameworks spanning web (Selenium), mobile (Appium), and backend API layers
Develop and manage mock environments, test data pipelines, and sandbox configurations to isolate and reproduce issues reliably
Write and own unit and integration test suites in collaboration with firmware and SW engineers to close coverage gaps ahead of scale
Identify and document edge cases systematically: network unavailability, BLE/WiFi failure modes, data sync retry logic, storage-full conditions, server errors, and app crashes
Verify data correctness across the full stack — on-device, app, and GCP endpoints
Define and track test metrics; flag release risks early in each sprint cycle
Wear prototypes several hours a week for on-body testing, data collection, and feedback
Basic Qualifications 3+ years of SDET or QA engineering experience in a product company, ideally with consumer devices or IoT
Hands-on experience with Selenium WebDriver for web automation
Experience designing and executing API test automation (REST/GraphQL)
Ability to independently define test strategies from scratch — no pre-built QA infrastructure to lean on
Familiarity with HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop) test setups or firmware-level testing at EVT/DVT stages
Demonstrated skill in creating edge-case scenarios and thinking adversarially about user flows
Experience building and maintaining mock services, test environments, and synthetic test data
Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and integrating automated tests into release workflows
Comfortable working across mobile (iOS/Android) and cloud-connected system testing
Ability to work from our Bay Area office 3 days/week
Bonus Points Experience with Appium or other mobile test automation frameworks
Background testing BLE, WiFi, or other wireless protocols in consumer devices
Experience with motor control, robotics, or powered consumer electronics (drones, e-bikes, powered prosthetics, etc.)
Experience writing or reviewing infrastructure-as-code for test environments
Strong opinions about sprint velocity and what actually slows teams down
Personal motivation to improve human movement or experience with adaptive sports/assistive tech
Sense of humour, tolerant of Aussie & Canadian spelling
