## About the Role

We are seeking a hands-on Test Automation Engineer specializing in Hardware and Robotics to support hardware automation test benches and robotic fixtures. This is a physical, lab-based role suited for an autonomous self-starter who can build, wire, maintain, and troubleshoot electromechanical test stations while interfacing with existing Python automation scripts to execute tests and isolate failures., * Hands-on experience operating collaborative or industrial robotic arms for data capture

 * Practical electromechanical fixturing and wiring experience (cable routing, harness fabrication, crimping, soldering, sensor/actuator mounting)
 * Confidence using benchtop diagnostic tools: multimeters, power supplies, oscilloscopes
 * Working proficiency in Python for hardware interfacing (not a software architecture role, but must be comfortable navigating code)
 * Strong systematic troubleshooting skills across mechanical, electrical, and software domains
 * Excellent attention to detail in data labeling/logging and clear communication skills, * Experience with collaborative robot arms (e.g., Franka FR3, Universal Robots) or multi-axis precision gantries
 * Familiarity with cameras, optical sensors, force/torque sensors, or IMUs
 * Basic CAD viewing skills (Siemens NX, SolidWorks, STEP) for fixture verification
 * Rapid prototyping experience (e.g., 3D printing)

## Description

* Operate collaborative/industrial robotic arms (hand-guiding, kinesthetic teaching, or scripted motion) to collect consistent, high-volume motion and sensor datasets
 * Assemble and maintain electromechanical test setups, including cable routing, wire harness fabrication, crimping, soldering, and mounting sensors/actuators
 * Use multimeters, power supplies, and oscilloscopes to diagnose electrical faults and signal integrity issues
 * Read, run, and modify Python scripts for hardware control, motion routines, and automated data collection pipelines
 * Systematically triage failures across the stack - distinguishing between mechanical binding, wiring dropouts, sensor calibration shifts, and script errors
 * Maintain high data hygiene standards: label and log data runs accurately
 * Provide clear daily blocker and station status reports
