Axon
Join Axon and be a Force for Good.
At Axon, we're on a mission to Protect Life. We're explorers, pursuing society's most critical safety and justice issues with our ecosystem of devices and cloud software. Like our products, we work better together. We connect with candor and care, seeking out diverse perspectives from our customers, communities and each other.
Life at Axon is fast-paced, challenging and meaningful. Here, you'll take ownership and drive real change. Constantly grow as you work hard for a mission that matters at a company where you matter.
Your Impact
At this role you will support the CEW development team in the testing, verifying, and validation of firmware and software behaviors. The team and you will help support TASER Core, Civilian, VR, and support of various pillars in creation of physical hardware, software tools, and combination of both. At this position, it will be your responsibility to create, or further develop process improvement materials such as, but not limited to documentation, acceptance testing, and automation verification. This will entail the validation of behavior expectation of products, development of suite of utilities in supporting cross functional groups, or custom creation of fixture equipment from start to finish for non-production environments.
For each new product, in support of the program, you will bring online Automated Test Stations (ATS) which will be responsible for build project code and tools, locally deploying them, and performing extensive test suites you'll help maintain which ensure the quality performance of all life saving devices made by AXON. Independently getting to develop small to mid sized simple mechanical "test fixtures" which will be used to exercise physical interaction with devices, with no need of human operation. Join Forces in creating, updating and distributing documentation of system performance, or validation procedures in preparation for new release candidates. This hands on position will get to interact directly with all new product development from the CEW group, and personally contribute towards taking the continuous improvement and quality assurance of every update to the next level.
What You'll Do
Location: Onsite at our Scottsdale, AZ office 3-5 days a week, and on the road 5-10% of time Reports to: Director CEW Firmware Direct Reports: None Project Autonomy : This role will be responsible for a broad range of activities, and will need to be capable of multi-tasking to support various programs and products. Workloads will be a mix of building equipment/fixtures to further expand testing capabilities, drafting then publishing documentation related to product testing, stages and steps to verify the completeness of requirements. Supporting to meet current scope, and expanding elements around the "Definition of Done" DoD checklist of contents to ensure best practices towards release processes prior to evaluation at a broader internal review, and ending with external deployment. Release Management:
Joining forces with other pillars within AXON to mirror and adapt practices to further move management and maintenance of Artifacts within Control Management Systems. Working within the virtual ecosystem to automate the process, and accelerate releases and reduce human interactions within the workflow. Continuous Integration, Continuous Design : Continue to instantiate ATS systems. Follow guidelines, created by the CEW team, on Configuration of PC units, integration of Programmable Power supplies, connecting Hardware to Debugging Hardware, manage and arrange physical components needed for running extensive acceptance testing, confirm no regression in behaviors, generating metrics related to coverage, performance and quality aspects. Individual Contributor : The CEW team support various pillar programs, and the developers divide up the work based on priorities. Within the team, your role will be in supporting operation behavior of the products, aligning those with the use case descriptions as scoped to ensure requirements meet the needs of training team and customers. This work will include refining existing processes documentation/instructions to optimize content. Prototyping Lead:
A primary function of this role is within creation of small fixture devices, which will use simple actuators, sensors, and peripherals to perform "interaction" with end products to allow expansion of the acceptance testing coverage to include physical interactions with production units. This will expand the current capabilities of the test equipment to expand into similar capabilities, so as to be able to test early every design during the early stages of the product life cycle. Git, Diagrams, and Documentation : Using Git as a tool in collaboration work will be part of the role, the team will mentor in use of the Revision Control tool and will teach in the basics. Drafting out ideas, system design and proposal for implementation will need to be supported by visual diagram/descriptive tools. Completion and creation of documentation used for work instructions, detailed technical directions, informative summaries or empirical metrics presentation to management.
