INTRODUCTION
Build the processes, tooling, and quality infrastructure that takes Fleetzero hardware from bench builds to production-ready assembly lines.
ABOUT THE ROLE
You will own the intersection of quality and manufacturing engineering for battery module and BMS assembly. That means developing and qualifying assembly processes, writing work instructions and inspection criteria, and driving continuous improvement across the line. You will define what 'good' looks like for every assembly step — from incoming piece part inspection through end-of-line functional test. This is a hands-on role. You will be on the floor developing tooling, troubleshooting process escapes, and running experiments alongside the assembly team. The right person has a bias for building systems that make quality repeatable and visible, and does not wait to be told what to inspect.
BONUS POINTS
- Experience with battery module or power electronics assembly processes
- Background in aerospace, defense, automotive, or marine industries where process rigor and traceability are required
- Familiarity with IP67 or IP68 sealing processes and leak test methodologies
- Six Sigma, APQP, PPAP, or similar structured quality methodologies
- Experience using or programming electrical test equipment (even if not the primary owner of test development)
We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans. If you would like more information about how your data is processed, please contact us.
WHAT YOU'LL OWN
- Process qualification for all assembly operations: weld quality, fastener torque, sealing/leak testing, harness routing, and module final assembly
- Incoming piece part inspection program: defining acceptance criteria, inspection methods, and sampling plans for all purchased components
- In-line quality checkpoints: developing and maintaining inspection records, checklists, and non-conformance workflows
- End-of-line functional test support: working with electrical engineering to ensure test criteria are well-defined and test processes are executable by line operators
- Assembly tooling development: specifying, procuring, and validating fixtures, torque tools, leak test rigs, and other production tooling
- Manufacturing BOM (mBOM) creation and maintenance, ensuring the manufacturing view of the product reflects current-state processes
- Production scheduling and line planning: managing which products run, when, and at what rate given capacity and demand
- Continuous process improvement: identifying and closing quality escapes, driving root cause investigations, and implementing corrective actions
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or related field
- 5+ years of experience in manufacturing and/or quality engineering for complex electromechanical assemblies
- Demonstrated experience qualifying assembly processes, written process qualification records, control plans, and work instructions you have personally developed
- Hands-on experience with mechanical quality requirements: weld inspection, torque verification, leak/water ingress testing
- Working knowledge of electrical fundamentals: ability to read wiring diagrams and harness schematics, understand connector and wire gauge specifications, and follow basic electrical inspection criteria
- Experience developing or supporting end-of-line functional test programs for electromechanical products
- Comfortable creating and managing mBOMs in a PDM or ERP environment
- Able to lead root cause investigations and write clear, actionable corrective action reports
- Self-directed and organized: able to manage multiple open work streams without losing detail

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding TN Visa Sponsorship as a Software QA Engineer
Align your credentials to Engineer category
TN visa classification for Software QA Engineers falls under the Engineer category, not Computer Systems Analyst. Your degree must be in engineering, computer science, or a closely related field. A general IT or business degree typically won't clear CBP scrutiny.
Request a support letter before accepting
Before you sign an offer, ask your employer to draft a TN support letter describing your role, degree requirement, and specialty occupation duties. CBP officers review this at the border, and a vague letter is the most common reason for delays.
Target employers with recent visa filing experience
Search for employers with recent visa filings in software engineering or QA roles. Employers experienced with visa sponsorship generally move faster through the TN process and are more familiar with work visa requirements. Since TN sponsorship involves a straightforward support letter and port-of-entry presentation (for Canadians) or consulate application (for Mexicans), experienced employers tend to have streamlined procedures in place.
Search TN-verified roles through Migrate Mate
Use Migrate Mate to filter Software QA Engineer jobs by employers with recent visa filings. This cuts the time spent cold-pitching companies that may be unfamiliar with USMCA treaty categories or confuse TN with H-1B visa.
Prepare for port-of-entry if you're Canadian
Canadian citizens can get TN status approved at the border the same day, so bring your degree transcripts, the employer support letter, and your offer letter in hard copy. CBP officers don't accept emailed documents at most ports.
Understand Mexican consular processing timelines
Mexican citizens apply at a U.S. consulate, not the border, and appointment availability varies by location and season. Factor four to eight weeks into your start date negotiation so your employer sets a realistic onboarding date with HR.
Software QA Engineer TN Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Software QA Engineer role qualify for TN visa sponsorship?
Yes, but the classification matters. CBP typically approves Software QA Engineers under the Engineer TN category, which requires a degree in engineering, computer science, or a directly related field. Roles framed around testing methodology and software systems align well. Roles described only in terms of manual testing or general IT support face higher scrutiny.
How does TN visa sponsorship compare to H-1B for Software QA Engineers?
TN has no annual lottery, no cap for Canadians, and no USCIS petition for Canadians crossing at the border. H-1B requires entering a lottery with roughly a 25 to 30 percent selection rate and a lengthy USCIS adjudication process. For Canadian and Mexican professionals in QA roles, TN is faster to obtain and simpler for employers to manage year over year.
What documents does my employer need to provide for my TN sponsorship?
Your employer must provide a signed support letter on company letterhead that describes your specific QA duties, confirms the role requires a bachelor's degree in a relevant field, states your start date and compensation terms, and identifies the TN Engineer category. You bring that letter, your degree transcripts, and your offer letter when you apply. USCIS is not involved for Canadians at the border.
Where can I find Software QA Engineer jobs that already sponsor TN visas?
Migrate Mate lets you search Software QA Engineer openings filtered by employers with recent visa filings, so you're not spending time on companies unfamiliar with work visa sponsorship. Most general job boards don't surface visa sponsorship experience at the role level, which makes it hard to distinguish employers experienced with visa processes from those without any sponsorship background.
Can I renew my TN status if I stay with the same Software QA employer?
Yes. TN status is approved in three-year increments with no limit on renewals, as long as you maintain a qualifying employer, role, and degree basis. Canadians can renew at the border or through USCIS. Mexican citizens renew through consular processing. Your employer needs to issue a new support letter for each renewal cycle confirming the role and your continued employment.
