Why This Role Stands Out
This role offers a unique opportunity to directly influence industry-shaping software by leveraging your hands-on surveying or CAD expertise. You'll thrive here if you enjoy being the critical link between real-world practices and cutting-edge technology, providing essential feedback to product and engineering teams. Apply to become a domain expert and help define the future of surveying technology.
Quick Overview
Job Description
The role:
At Mach9, QA Survey Technicians are the domain experts who ensure our platform works the way real surveyors and engineers expect it to. You'll work directly with product and engineering to validate feature extraction accuracy, stress-test new workflows against real-world datasets, and make sure what we ship reflects how the industry actually works.
This role is ideal for someone with hands-on surveying or CAD experience who wants to shape software the whole industry will use -- and can tell us clearly when it's wrong.
You'll sit at the intersection of product, engineering, and marketing -- catching what engineers miss, providing structured feedback, and helping us demonstrate our capabilities to customers in plain, credible language.
Where you will make an impact:
QA new features against real-world LiDAR and mobile mapping datasets
Identify extraction errors, edge cases, and workflow friction before they reach customers
Provide structured, specific feedback to engineering and product teams
Create screen recordings and narrated walkthroughs for tutorials, marketing, and demos
Build repeatable QA checklists and testing workflows
Act as the in-house authority on how surveyors and engineers actually work
What you bring:
Hands-on experience with surveying, drafting, or CAD (AutoCAD, Civil 3D, MicroStation, or similar)
Expert knowledge of feature extraction, geometry, and infrastructure workflows
Sharp eye for detail -- you notice when a curb line is off or a classification is wrong
Comfort explaining technical workflows
Able to work onsite in San Francisco
