Job Description:

As a Robot Test Engineer, your role is critical to ensuring that robot systems integrating into our growing robot fleet meet performance requirements and are reliable. You will work with robot systems across a range of maturity levels from early prototypes to production systems. You will be responsible for creating test systems and test processes/documentation, executing tests on robotic systems, and engaging with members of the hardware engineering and software engineering teams to resolve issues that arise during test.

Job Responsibility:

  • Test Process Development: Create test processes and documentation for robotic systems.
  • Test Setup Development: Build and maintain robot test systems, explore ways to automate testing, etc.
  • Test Execution: Complete functional, environmental, and reliability testing of robot systems, assemblies, and components ranging across different maturity levels from early prototypes to production robot systems. Collect data, analyze data, and compile data into reports to communicate results broadly.
  • Test Failure Investigation: Perform root cause analysis from test failures and work with engineers to resolve and drive corrective actions.
  • Cross Functional Collaboration: Engage with hardware and software teams to align on test processes and to resolve issues observed during testing.

Requirements:

  • B.S. in Robotics, Mechatronics, Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience
  • 4+ years of hands on experience in hardware test engineering, product validation, or quality assurance for electromechanical or robotics systems
  • Proficiency debugging electromechanical systems including actuators, PCBs, cameras, wiring harnesses, and communication hardware.
  • Strong understanding of mechanical, electrical, and software interactions in robotic systems
  • Basic scripting to understand robot testing code development from runtime/robot software team.
  • Ability to process data (i.e. Excel, Matlab, Python, etc.) to analyze and create graphics.
  • Building test fixtures, performing diagnostics, and using standard lab equipment (oscilloscopes, multimeters, environmental chambers, etc.)
  • Excellent written and verbal communication, particularly in technical documentation.
  • High attention to detail, highly organized, capable of supporting multiple test campaigns in parallel, ability to work in a highly dynamic start up environment (adaptable/not rigid to specific test standards).
