Robotics Quality Assurance Engineer

The role

You will own test case management, new-feature testing, and regression testing across full-stack robotics solutions. You will build and maintain automated regression across software modules, simulation, hardware-in-the-loop, and SW/HW interfaces.

What you will do

• Design, develop, and maintain full-stack regression coverage across software components, HIL, and SW/HW interfaces.
• Review requirements and designs for each release.
• Write test plans and test cases for new features.
• Execute functional, integration, and on-robot testing before they ship.
• Build automated end-to-end tests, logged-data replay, and scenario suites.
• Choose and apply robot simulation for test automation.
• Own test cases and their traceability to requirements.
• Define pass/fail criteria and triage failures with engineering teams.
• Integrate regression into CI.
• Partner with engineering teams to expand HIL coverage.

Required qualifications

• BS or MS in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical/Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• 5+ years of experience in software testing, robotics, or test automation.
• Strong programming skills in Python and Linux shell scripting.
• Hands-on experience building automated test frameworks and CI pipelines.
• Strong experience with robot simulation.
• Familiarity with ROS/ROS 2.
• Familiarity with testing web applications, IoT devices, or mobile applications.
• Hands-on experience with fault injection and logged-data replay.
• Rigor in requirements traceability and defect management.

Nice to have

• Senior-level experience preferred.
• Experience testing autonomous mobile robots, manipulators, or other fleet-deployed robotic systems.
• Hands-on experience with simulators such as Gazebo, Isaac Sim, or MuJoCo, and with HIL rigs.
• Experience with test management tools (e.g., TestRail, Qase, Testomat.io) and CI systems (GitHub Actions preferred).
• Experience triaging field issues from logs, bag files, or telemetry.
• Programming experience in Go, C++, or TypeScript/JavaScript.
