What the job involves
- Diligent Robotics is hiring for a Staff Robotics SWE, Verification & Validation to spearhead the development of testing automation, processes and procedures to ensure Moxi is working as reliably as possible
- The work will be fast-paced and you should love the challenge of tackling new problems that will arise
- You will need to get your hands dirty and dive head first to develop regression testing suites, identify and establish key test metrics, and enhance Diligent’s ability to ensure reliability of our product
- You will help build robots that manipulate objects and navigate in human environments in a way that is safe, robust, and socially acceptable
- This position is located at our HQ in Austin, TX and you must be local or open to relocate to be considered
- Provide technical vision and leadership for increasing reliability and availability of our robotic fleet (~100 robots and growing)
- Build dashboards and alerting to give high visibility into issues per-customer, per-bot, and per-site-feature (e.g. each elevator stack) so that we know about problems before the customer does
- Teach engineers without deep V&V experience how to design for reliability and visibility
- Build test tools and frameworks to reduce regression testing effort and time
- Write code to improve the overall testability and diagnostics of our robots' software
- Design test cases (manual and automated) and accurately report the coverage and findings
- Support simulation tool development for a robot navigating a hospital environment
- Automate stress tests of software modules and algorithms across multiple simulated variables, and collect data and analytics to feed this effort
- Unlock new ways of prototyping and algorithm development with parallelization and optimization within simulations
Our take
Healthcare workers do everything they can to provide high-quality care to patients, but the high-pressure work environment can make this difficult. Whilst in-person care is their most important job, different scenarios will require workers to constantly fetch different medical items for patients, increasing job pressure and restricting the time workers have to spend with patients.
Diligent Robotics develops AI-powered robots for patient care teams called Moxi that can fetch, store, and deliver items needed within healthcare facilities. The robots have specialized storage compartments for sensitive medical materials and can safely navigate through elevators, security doors, automatic doors, and other existing infrastructure.
Whilst AI is becoming more prevalent in the healthcare industry, Diligent Robotics has taken a bold move to develop AI-driven robots that tackle the constant frustrations of item fetching that workers face, allowing them to focus more on providing in-person care to patients.
