MentraOS is the open-source operating system for smart glasses. We support multiple hardware platforms (Mentra Live, Even Realities G1, Even Realities G2, Vuzix Z100) across iOS and Android. The test surface area is massive: 2 mobile platforms Γ multiple phone models Γ multiple glasses types Γ dozens of features.
We need someone to own QA. Run manual tests. Build out automated E2E testing. Make sure nothing ships broken.
Currently: We have a glasses simulator in the app (~80% coverage), a master test checklist (~70 cases), an E2E pipeline started in Maestro (needs buildout), and all the hardware in our SF office. We need daily runs against nightly builds, full test matrix weekly.
Later: architect physical test infrastructure (device farms, camera rigs for capturing glasses HUD output, automated BLE testing).
Bonus: BLE/smart glasses experience, hardware-software integration
Mobile: React Native + Java/Kotlin + Swift
Backend: TypeScript, MongoDB, Azure, Docker
Testing: Maestro (mobile E2E), Jest (unit/integration)
