BrainChip · Laguna Hills, CA · Hybrid

About the Role
This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to join a company redefining how artificial intelligence is built and deployed.

BrainChip is the global leader in neuromorphic edge AI, pioneering a fundamentally new approach to computing inspired by the human brain. Its Akida platform processes only meaningful data at the point of acquisition, enabling real-time AI with dramatically lower power consumption, faster response times, and greater efficiency than traditional systems.

We are hiring a QA Engineer to play a critical role in integration and validation across real-world systems. You will be responsible for ensuring that new features work end-to-end before reaching customers, operating at the intersection of product, engineering, and real-world deployment.

This is a hands-on, high-impact role for someone who wants to work on cutting-edge AI technology and see their work directly shape how products perform in the real world.

What You’ll Do
Execute end-to-end integration and validation of new features across real customer workflows
Install, configure, and test systems to ensure functionality works as expected
Follow technical requirements to run and validate test cases with clear pass and fail outcomes
Identify gaps or inconsistencies in instructions and partner with engineering teams to resolve them
Act as a final quality checkpoint before products reach customers
Troubleshoot issues across installation, configuration, and system behavior
Work closely with Software, Hardware, and Pre-Sales Engineering teams
Use tools such as VS Code, Jira, Linux environments, and FPGA toolchains like Xilinx Vivado

What We’re Looking For
3 to 7 years of experience in QA, Test Engineering, or Software Engineering
Experience working with physical systems, embedded environments, or device-level testing
Exposure to integration or system-level validation
Comfortable working independently and executing against defined requirements
Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills
Familiarity with VS Code, Jira, and Linux
High attention to detail and strong ownership mindset

What Will Set You Apart
Experience with FPGA environments or tools like Xilinx Vivado
Exposure to AI or machine learning frameworks such as PyTorch
Background in semiconductor, embedded, or systems-focused companies
Hands-on or hobbyist experience working with devices or boards

Why BrainChip
Pioneer in brain-inspired computing, mimicking how neurons process information for more efficient AI
Technology that enables real-time intelligence directly on devices without relying on the cloud
Platform designed to deliver ultra-low power AI with faster, more efficient processing across real-world applications
Fast-growing company at the center of the shift toward edge AI and next-generation computing
