QA Engineer

The role

The QA Engineer validates software running on robotic cells to move it from alpha to production. You will define test plans, acceptance criteria, and quality gates for the full robotic system.

What you will do

• Validate the full robotic system
• Help move new software from alpha to production
• Define clear test plans for features running on real robotic cells
• Define acceptance criteria for software deployed to cells
• Help shape coding standards and release-readiness expectations
• Coordinate engineers across software, robotics, perception, simulation, deployment, and product
• Document and communicate test results, risks, blockers, and open issues
• Help define quality gates for different parts of the system
• Design and implement CI pipelines, automated checks, and process automation
• Reduce handover friction between software and deploy teams

Required qualifications

• Strong experience in QA, test engineering, systems validation, or software quality
• Ability to think in systems: software, hardware, data, operators, edge cases, and failure modes
• Experience creating test plans, acceptance criteria, release gates, or validation processes
• Experience working with CI pipelines, automated checks, or software release processes
• Ability to work with CI/CD, and test automation tooling
• Experience validating software that interacts with hardware, robotics, physical devices, or other real-world systems
• Technical depth to challenge engineers and express what test coverage is needed
• Strong written communication
• High ownership and good judgement in ambiguous environments
• Comfort working with a physical product where bugs can have real-world consequences
• Pragmatism
• Familiarity with ROS 2, Isaac or other simulation tools, strong knowledge of Linux

Nice to have

• Experience with robotics, industrial automation, hardware-in-the-loop testing, or embedded systems
• Familiarity with ABB robots, PLCs, cameras, Jetson and similar systems
• Experience with simulation and release engineering
• Familiarity with safety-critical or operationally critical testing environments
