Role
Who you are
- BS or MS in Computer Science, Robotics, Mechatronics or a related engineering field
- 3+ years of experience in test automation development, with a focus on robotics or integrated electro-mechanical systems in a production environment
- Strong programming skills in Python or Rust for developing automated test scripts and analysis tools. Familiarity with industrial control or robotic middleware (e.g., ROS/ROS2, custom control frameworks)
- Proven ability to work with and analyze high-speed sensor data (e.g., torque, force, encoder readings) to assess performance and diagnose system-level issues
- Experience in developing or working with automated functional test stations and knowledge of kinematic calibration techniques
What the job involves
- You will be the key development owner for the robot's End-of-Line (EOL) Test system, focusing on maximizing manufacturing throughput and assuring the quality of the final, fully integrated robot
- This role is centered on enhancing the automated EOL testing framework and developing advanced kinematic and performance validation tests for the robot's motion and system functions
- Automated Framework Ownership: Own the development and optimization of the Robot Calibration Service, focusing on efficiency and test cycle time reduction
- Test Case Implementation: Implement new automated system-level functionality tests for all major robot components (Arm, Mobility, Carriage, Compute), covering module functionality to robot action cycle tests
- High-Speed Data Analysis: Develop judgement logic to process and analyze telemetry data to generate objective PASS/FAIL criteria and comprehensive reports
- Kinematic and Accuracy Testing: Develop and maintain the software for external fixture-based testing and kinematic checks using metrology tools like laser trackers
- Factory SW Deployment Integrity: Manage and refine the factory software deployment process
Our take
Assembly lines are valuable workflows for eCommerce businesses, but most of these are still handled by humans. The manufacturing process of most products is repetitive and algorithmic, raising questions as to why humans are still required for the job.
Nimble Robotics provides robotic solutions for automated end-to-end manufacturing, including piece-picking, sorting and packing. The services are aimed towards an eCommerce audience, reducing unnecessary staffing costs and increasing efficiency and workflow. To do this, they use robots which are capable of picking apparel, electronics, accessories, convenience items, groceries, beauty products, shoes, and more with 99.9% accuracy at 700+ UPH.
Nimble's robots are customized for every client to ensure the workflow fits their manufacturing needs. The company's network of warehouses is set to provide brands with 1-2 day services for +96% of the U.S. population, meaning Nimble is well set to see substantial growth, especially after its impressive Series A financing. This will enable it to accelerate hiring, product and technology development whilst scaling its product.
