Test Engineer

We are seeking a versatile Test Engineer to validate advanced robotic platforms and their supporting systems, including embedded compute platforms, camera modules, sensor systems, and AWS-based cloud applications. This role emphasizes automated testing while also requiring hands-on manual testing in active lab environments. You will partner closely with hardware, software, and integration teams to ensure performance, reliability, and quality across the entire system stack. Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and maintain automated test cases and frameworks for robotic subsystems, supporting software, and cloud applications.
• Develop and maintain Python and shell scripts to automate test execution, data collection, and validation workflows.
• Conduct manual testing on hardware and software components, including regression and validation activities, when required.
• Operate and validate devices in a lab environment, including setup, configuration, troubleshooting, and issue reproduction.
• Execute test plans, track pass and failure results, and ensure comprehensive regression coverage.
• Document test results clearly and accurately, author professional test reports, and track defects with detailed reproduction steps.
• Collaborate with hardware, software, and integration teams to debug complex issues and drive timely resolution.
• Enhance test processes, improve regression coverage, and support CI/CD integration to enable continuous quality improvements.
• Contribute to the design, review, and updating of test plans to ensure evolving features are validated effectively.
• Apply test engineering, validation, and regression testing best practices to support the reliability of next-generation robotic platforms.
• Use test equipment and follow structured test procedures to validate electrical and software systems in the lab.
