 * Statistical analysis and DOE for test design; experience with lifecycle and fatigue testing.
 * Comfortable with Linux CLI, Git, and basic Python/bash scripting.

## Description

The dedicated owner of physical hardware test design and execution for the V6 robot and its subsystems. Sitting inside SI&T, this role runs component-, subassembly-, and system-level validation, owns our cycle testers end to end, and generates the reliability data (MTBF/MTTF) that de-risks V6 ahead of the customer warehouse delivery. It frees integration engineers from ad hoc bench work so they can focus on feature development and deployment support., * Own test design and execution for new hardware products and mechanical revisions across feasibility, EVT, DVT, and PVT.

 * Lead physical pick/pack testing: evaluate and optimize SKU pickability, grip reliability, and placement accuracy.
 * Take full ownership of robot system and subsystem cycle testers: hardware bringup, routine maintenance, test execution, and deep-dive debug of physical and electrical failures.
 * Build and maintain hardware test infrastructure.
 * Track test cycles and MTTF/MTBF, run routine wear measurements, conduct teardowns and failure analysis, and drive root cause with Design and Supply Chain.
