System Test Team Manager - Build Technology That Saves Lives

Voice is the lifeblood of every first responder. When seconds matter, firefighters, police, and EMS technicians rely on hardened radio operating on an always available network to connect them to mission critical intelligence and assistance. The ASTRO Consoles team is the backbone of this mission-critical communication for public safety agencies worldwide. With a storied history of supporting public safety for over 50 years, our offerings stand as the most widely used and trusted products in the dispatch center. Our dispatch solutions empower police, fire rescue, and emergency services to coordinate rapid responses when lives are on the line. Our mission is to deliver reliable, real-time, secure communication that empowers dispatchers in high-stakes environments where zero downtime is mandatory and every second counts.

We are looking for a passionate Engineering Manager to lead and inspire our Software Test Team.

The quality bar in the ASTRO Consoles team is unusually high: when our software fails, someone calling for help doesn't get through. That is the standard we all uphold.

You will be responsible for quality vision for how our team meets this standard and drive improvements in our quality processes to reduce test time while increasing product quality. The latter part is where this role gets interesting. We are rebuilding how we test by incorporating AI and automation through every stage of the SDLC, from test design and environment provisioning to failure triage. We want a leader who is genuinely excited to drive that transformation.

This is a hands-on leadership role. You will be expected to read test plans critically, get into the automation and the lab, and be fluent enough in the product to know when a release is actually ready.
