Guided by OpenAI’s mission to ensure AGI benefits all of humanity, our team combines world-class researchers, engineers, designers, and operators who care deeply about creating useful, intuitive, and responsible technology. You’ll have the opportunity to work alongside exceptional people on ambitious, zero-to-one challenges at the intersection of hardware, software, and AI. This is a chance to help define an entirely new category of products,and shape how people experience AI in the future. The Systems Integration team is critical in this mission, turning complex hardware-software development into reliable product signals. We build the shared infrastructure, tooling, and lab environments that let teams test quickly, understand failures, and ship with confidence. ## About the Role As a Systems Integration Manager, you will lead the team responsible for device validation infrastructure, test automation, developer tooling, and lab operations. This is a player-coach leadership role: you’ll set technical and operational direction, build and develop a team of engineers and lab operations professionals, and stay close to the architecture and hardest systems problems. You will partner closely with device software, OS, firmware, hardware, reliability, QA, and release infrastructure teams to define validation strategy, improve release readiness, and ensure our test environments and quality signals scale with the product. Because this is a new category of devices, you’ll have the rare opportunity to build the validation foundation early,shaping the systems, standards, and operating model that will support products from prototype through launch. ## Responsibilities - Lead and grow the team: Hire, manage, mentor, and develop engineers and lab operations staff responsible for test infrastructure, automation, device labs, and release validation. - Own validation strategy and release quality: Define the systems, processes, release criteria, metrics, and escalation mechanisms used to assess reliability and readiness across software, firmware, and hardware; drive improvements in test reliability, failure triage, and regression management. - Build scalable test infrastructure: Guide the development of a stable, all-purpose testing platform, automated test frameworks, hardware-in-the-loop systems, device orchestration, diagnostics, and developer tooling,while balancing dedicated rigs for technology-specific testing needs. - Scale lab and fleet operations: Ensure large-scale device fleets, test rigs, lab infrastructure, provisioning, maintenance, and capacity remain reliable and ready for engineering use; develop the processes, documentation, ownership models, and vendor partnerships needed to grow efficiently with the organization. - Set priorities and roadmap: Balance near-term release needs with longer-term investments in infrastructure, automation, scalability, and operational efficiency. - Partner across teams: Work closely with hardware, embedded systems, QA, reliability, and release teams to improve product testability and resolve cross-functional quality issues. ## Minimum Qualifications: - Experience leading engineering teams responsible for systems integration, test infrastructure, developer tooling, device quality, or hardware-software validation. - Strong technical background in software engineering, embedded systems, test automation, or systems engineering. - Extensive background in consumer hardware products and understand the challenges of validating software, firmware, and physical devices together. ## Nice to Have: - Have successfully operated or scaled automated testing and hardware-in-the-loop environments. - Are comfortable using data and quality signals to make release decisions and prioritize engineering investments. - Have experience managing engineers while partnering closely with lab technicians, QA teams, vendors, or hardware operations teams. - Can move comfortably between technical architecture, operational problems, people management, and cross-functional execution. - Build strong teams, establish clear ownership, and create an environment where engineers can execute quickly without compromising reliability or quality. ## Skills ### Required - systems integration - test automation - device validation - hardware-software validation - leadership ### Nice to have - automated testing - hardware-in-the-loop environments - data analysis - quality signals --- Source: [Apply at jobs.ashbyhq.com](https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/openai/831960f4-a877-4c41-8fda-17fd321c0230?utm_source=yubhub.co&utm_medium=jobs_feed&utm_campaign=apply)
