Test Engineer, 1X

• This role is ideal for engineers who thrive on first-principles thinking, embrace technical ambiguity, and want to build the testing backbone for some of the most complex machines ever developed. Join us in redefining the future of human-assistive robotics—one test at a time
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field
• 2+ years of experience in one or more of the following:
• Electromechanical test systems
• Embedded systems/software integration
• Robotics validation or manufacturing testing
• Proficiency in Python and C++ for automation and integration tasks
• Experience working with Linux-based systems and command-line tools

Desirable

• As a Test Engineer, Robotics in our Humanoid manufacturing team, you’ll play a pivotal role in validating the mechanical, electrical, and software systems that power our next-generation humanoid robots
• From individual sensors and actuators to fully integrated bipedal platforms, you’ll be responsible for ensuring our systems are safe, reliable, and performant through rigorous testing at every level of integration
• This is a hands-on, interdisciplinary role combining mechanical test design, embedded software bring-up, test automation, and cross-functional debugging
• You’ll collaborate closely with hardware, software, and manufacturing teams to accelerate development timelines, increase product reliability, and enable rapid scaling in both R&D and production environments
• Design and execute functional, environmental, and performance tests for critical subsystems—locomotion, perception, manipulation, power, thermal, and more
• Lead test planning, procedure creation, execution, and reporting for both subsystem-level and system-level robotic assemblies
• Develop and maintain automated test frameworks, including software-in-the-loop (SIL), hardware-in-the-loop (HIL), and end-of-line (EOL) tests
• Build infrastructure to monitor robot behavior, collect and analyze logs, and track regressions and KPIs over time
• Support initial integration of sensors, actuators, and embedded systems on robot platforms
• Validate firmware, middleware, and real-time control software on production and prototype hardware
• Collaborate with software teams to test ROS/ROS2 modules, perception pipelines, and motion planning algorithms in real-time environments
• Architect mechanical and electrical test fixtures using commercial and custom components
• Design fluid, electrical, or mechanical systems as needed to simulate realistic robot loading scenarios
• Interface test systems with DAQs, oscilloscopes, signal generators, cameras, and industrial sensors
• Identify and root-cause failures using test data, logs, instrumentation, and schematics
• Work with design, integration, and manufacturing teams to resolve system-level issues and drive continuous improvement
• Define best practices for test coverage, traceability, and reliability at each stage of development
• Write detailed test plans, checklists, procedures, and pass/fail criteria
• Contribute to standardization of processes for rapid validation, manufacturing scale-up, and product certification
