Job description

Together, we are taking the step into a new era of robots. You will ensure our robot arm software is reliable, safe, and ready for real-world deployment - validating behavior from operator workflows through application services to motion outcomes.

Robot arm & system testing

  • Test all functionalities of the robotic system - from graphical user to interface to motion commands, PLC communication interfaces or safety functions
  • Support release and regression validation across versioned robot software, including localization and multi-environment testing.
  • Work closely with robotics, firmware, application, and functional safety engineers to validate software components, safety-related behavior, and contribute to product stability and compliance.

Test automation & framework

  • Develop and implement detailed Gherkin test cases and step definitions using Cucumber, Selenium, and Java for GUI and API testing.
  • Build and maintain automated regression, smoke, and release test suites integrated into CI/CD pipelines (e.g. GitLab).
  • Extend the test framework with reusable step definitions, page objects, test data management, and reporting.
  • Execute automated and manual tests; analyze results to detect defects, regressions, localization issues, and performance bottlenecks.
  • Log, track, and communicate issues clearly; maintain traceability between requirements and test cases.
  • Create and maintain test documentation and user guides.
  • Proactively identify opportunities to improve testing practices, coverage, and execution efficiency.

Requirements

Do you have experience in Test automation?, Do you have a Master's degree?, * Bachelor's or Master's degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.

  • 3-5+ years of experience in test automation, system testing, validation, or verification of complex systems; robotics or industrial automation experience preferred.
  • Solid understanding of robot arm fundamentals - kinematics basics, joint vs Cartesian motion, reference frames, safety limits, and operator control software.
  • Proficiency in Java; familiarity with Python or C++ is a plus.
  • Hands-on experience with Maven, Selenium, Cucumber (BDD), API testing, and Git.
  • Experience with CI/CD, test reporting, and agile, cross-functional teams.
  • Fluency in English is required.
