To be fair, ensuring that machines produce the correct outputs (even by making someone else fix it) is still the kind of process I'm talking about. After all, that's also how it works in software.

It depends on what the machines are supposed to do. I’ve never worked in software QA, but worked as a developer for over a decade and currently work in manufacturing. Is mass-manufacturing totally different? Sure. QA engineers in small high-complexity single-run prototyping shops? It’s not much different.
