Job Description:

As the Senior Robotics Release and Test Engineer, you will serve as the critical liaison between development and production, ensuring robotic systems adhere to stringent performance benchmarks prior to deployment in commercial facilities. The role entails ownership of the Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipeline, the implementation of performance gating mechanisms, and the maintenance of time critical operations imperative for efficient food automation workflows in every release.

Job Responsibility:

Develop and manage comprehensive CI/CD pipelines for robotics software, inclusive of hardware-in-the-loop testing
Institute automated performance gates to validate the operational speed, accuracy, and reliability of robots
Formulate release procedures to encompass both software updates and robot firmware deployments
Administer staged deployment strategies, such as canary and blue-green deployments, for production systems
Integrate validation with other equipment such as conveyor systems within deployment pipelines
Generate automated performance benchmarks to be executed as an integral component of each release
Deploy regression detection systems to identify performance degradation at an early stage
Establish real-time monitoring of pivotal performance metrics in production environments
Engage with development teams to assimilate performance considerations into feature development processes
Partner with performance engineers to translate performance requirements into automated test protocols
Coordinate release schedules with customer operations and field teams
Disseminate information regarding performance enhancements and challenges to relevant stakeholders
Facilitate effective communication and understanding among mechanical, electrical, and software engineering teams
Develop monitoring systems to track robot performance across various customer systems
Establish alerting thresholds for performance anomalies detected in production environments
Create dashboards to visualize robot uptime, throughput, and packaging quality metrics
Conduct post-release performance analysis and formulate recommendations for improvement
Implement predictive maintenance monitoring for components of the packaging line

Requirements:

Minimum of 6 years of professional experience in release engineering, DevOps, or platform engineering roles
Proficient utilization of CI/CD tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions) and containerization technologies (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes)
Experience with performance testing frameworks and tools
Expertise in scripting languages (e.g., Python, Bash)
Comprehension of performance characteristics inherent in robotics and real-time systems
Thorough understanding of release management best practices and deployment methodologies
Experience with monitoring and observability platforms (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack)
Knowledge of identifying and resolving performance bottlenecks
Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (e.g., AWS, GCP) and edge computing paradigms
Understanding of conveyor systems and production line orchestration

Nice to have:

Previous experience with robotic systems or industrial automation deployments
Experience with distributed systems and challenges related to edge deployment
Expertise in packaging line optimization

What we offer:

medical insurance
dental insurance
vision insurance
commuter benefits
flexible paid time off (PTO)
catered lunch
401(k) matching
early-stage equity
