## Description

The Robotics Test team is responsible for ensuring NEO performs safely, reliably, and consistently across every stage of development. We build the validation infrastructure, automation frameworks, and test methodologies that allow engineering teams to move quickly while maintaining confidence in system performance.

Operating across hardware, firmware, software, and systems engineering, this team plays a critical role in identifying issues early, validating product requirements, and helping transform cutting-edge robotics technology into dependable products that operate in the real world., You will develop the infrastructure, automation, and processes that ensure NEO performs reliably across a wide range of operating conditions. Working at the intersection of hardware, firmware, and software, you will create test systems that uncover issues early, provide actionable data, and accelerate development across the robotics stack., * Develop and maintain automated test frameworks that improve validation coverage and reduce manual testing effort across hardware, firmware, and software systems

 * Build scalable hardware-in-the-loop and system-level validation environments that accurately represent real-world operating conditions
 * Identify, reproduce, and help resolve complex multidisciplinary failures before they impact product milestones or deployments
 * Maintain traceability between product requirements, test execution, and validation results across development programs
 * Generate high-quality performance, reliability, and characterization data that informs engineering decisions and product readiness
