## About the Role

* 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.

## 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.
