Job Description

We are looking for a highly skilled and detail-oriented QA Engineer to ensure our robotic systems meet the highest standards of quality and safety. This position will focus on the critical aspects of triaging and relaying direct feedback from field operations, as well as designing, implementing and executing robotic system test plans, ensuring we deliver the best possible experience for our customers.

What you’ll be doing

Design, execute, and maintain both internal and external test plans to validate and optimize robotic systems and their integration in real-world field conditions.

Identify, document, and prioritize bugs or issues discovered in the field, collaborating with cross-functional teams to resolve them promptly.

Monitor quality standards across various operational phases, from development to deployment and maintenance of robotic systems.

Collaborate closely with product managers, and engineers to align testing strategies with business goals and industry standards.

Continuously improve testing processes to drive quality, efficiency, and scalability within the field operations of robotic systems.

What you must have

3+ years of experience in QA engineering, with a focus on robotics, field operations, or regulatory compliance.

Experience developing and executing test plans, identifying issues, and working cross-functionally to resolve them.

Familiarity with field deployments of robotic systems, including outdoor environments and real-world operational conditions.

Strong understanding of hardware-software integration and how QA applies to real-world robotic systems.

Familiarity with testing and debugging robotic hardware in field environments.

Get some bonus points

Background in robotics or autonomous driving, with expertise across the full stack—encompassing sensors, perception, mapping, localization, navigation, control, and deep learning algorithms.

Ability to read modern C++ and Python.

Knowledge of the autonomous vehicle, last-mile delivery, or similar industries.

Experience with automation tools for QA and testing processes.

We believe the best work is done when collaborating and therefore require in-person presence in our office locations.
