## About the Role

* Quality-First Mindset: Quality is the job, not a gate at the end of it. You value simplicity, reliability, and velocity in equal measure, treat every escaped defect as a process to fix, and would rather prevent a bug than file one.
 * Strong Software Engineering: 3+ years (or strong equivalent) writing production-quality code daily in Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, or similar.
 * Test Automation & Frameworks: Deep experience in automated test infrastructure (Playwright, pytest, Jest) and CI/CD pipelines.
 * Systems Thinking: Comfortable debugging networked/distributed systems.
 * Collaboration: You enjoy pairing with developers and Systems Engineers., * Hardware-in-the-loop or system-level testing
 * Embedded systems or real-time applications
 * ROS2, Docker, or robotics software stacks

## Description

* Build and own automated tests and feature test suites (end-to-end, integration)
 * Validate features in real time during the sprint, partnering tightly with developers so defects are solved as they appear.
 * Hand off maintainable feature test code to Systems Test Engineers and support them as they extend it.
 * Build SW-based mocks/simulators for hardware (e.g., grippers) so testing isn't gated on physical hardware.
 * Develop tooling and infrastructure that makes the whole QA org faster (test data, reporting).
 * Review designs and PRs for testability and push coverage upstream into development.
