Job Description:

You will be a versatile and hands-on Robotics Test Engineer. This is not a siloed testing role; you will work at the intersection of hardware, firmware, and software. Your mission will be to ensure our robots are robust, reliable, and ready for real-world use by supporting the full product lifecycle, from early R&D characterization through to final production validation. You’ll be expected to contribute broadly, both in deeply technical areas and cross-disciplinary debugging.

Job Responsibility:

  • Design, develop, and maintain robust, scalable test automation frameworks in Python and C++
  • Architect and build custom hardware-in-the-loop test systems and mechanical/electrical test fixtures to simulate real-world conditions
  • Author and maintain clear, concise test plans, test procedures, and test cases based on product requirements and technical specifications
  • Develop and manage test matrices to ensure adequate coverage across hardware, software, and firmware configurations
  • Create detailed, data-driven test reports to communicate results and risks to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Maintain traceability from system requirements to test case execution and results
  • Execute a wide range of tests, including exploratory and characterization testing on prototypes, performance and reliability testing, and system-level verification and validation against formal requirements
  • Lead debugging and root cause analysis of complex, multidisciplinary issues spanning the robotics stack
  • Deepen system-level understanding of how subsystems interact to deliver product-level features

Requirements:

  • 3+ years of experience in test engineering, systems integration, or a related role
  • Strong programming proficiency in Python and/or C++
  • Hands-on experience with common lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, multimeters, and power supplies
  • Solid understanding of embedded systems, microcontrollers, and communication protocols (for example: CAN, I2C, SPI)
  • Experience with version control systems (especially Git)
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and a methodical, data-driven approach to debugging

Nice to have:

  • Experience working with test automation frameworks
  • Experience with Real-Time Operating Systems or Linux environments
  • Experience with CAD software for designing test fixtures
  • Familiarity with agile project management tools
What we offer:
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Paid time off and holidays
