We own the full robotics stack from high-performance hardware and robot systems to the infrastructure and state-of-the-art foundation world models that control our robots. Our robots are designed to be generalists capable of operating in complex, real-world environments and handling long-tail edge cases, made possible by our cutting edge research and end-to-end system design. We've raised over $400M and are investing aggressively in model research, infrastructure, hardware development, and manufacturing scale-up to make generalist robotics a reality. We're looking for a Robotics Software Test Engineer to design and build the test infrastructure that ensures our robot software stack is reliable, regression-free, and ready to ship. What You'll Do * Design and implement automated test plans, test cases, and test fixtures across the full robotic software stack * Architect and build test infrastructure across all testing layers - spanning unit tests, component integration tests, system-level tests, and hardware-in-the-loop validation * Strengthen and extend CI/CD pipelines to catch regressions early and gate releases * Define quality metrics and KPIs; track test coverage, failure trends, and release readiness to give the team clear signal on product health * Participate in design and code reviews with a focus on observability, testability, and reliability ## Related Videos - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [Robots are coming into the wild!
