Robotics Engineer, Test & Validation

Roles and Responsibilities

1. Test Planning & Strategy

• Develop comprehensive test plans, procedures, and schedules for robotic systems.
• Identify testing requirements based on system specifications, performance benchmarks, and use cases.
• Establish QA/QC frameworks, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and guidelines for embedded and control systems.

2. Validation Execution

• Lead the design, development, and integration of robotic subsystems including sensors, actuators, wireless modules, power systems, and microcontrollers (ESP32, STM32, etc.).
• Execute functional, performance, safety, and stress testing of robotic components and systems.
• Simulate real-world operational scenarios to validate system reliability and performance.
• Verify system designs using simulations and validation tools.
• Perform Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and define failure limits for system components.
• Maintain, troubleshoot, and prepare robots for deployment readiness.

3. Data Collection & Analysis

• Collect, log, and analyze test data using sensor outputs, logging tools, and software analytics.
• Conduct root cause analysis to identify and resolve bugs, performance drops, or system failures.

4. Reporting & Documentation

• Generate clear and detailed test reports, validation records, and technical documentation.
• Maintain thorough traceability logs of test results, iterations, and design changes.

5. System Integration Support

• Collaborate with design, firmware, and hardware teams during system integration phases.
• Provide actionable feedback to improve system design, robustness, and reliability based on validation results.

6. Tool & Fixture Development

• Design and fabricate test fixtures, jigs, and automated testing setups to streamline validation processes.

7. Field Testing & Deployment Support

• Support on-site testing, pilot deployments, and customer validation efforts.
• Troubleshoot system issues in field conditions and ensure optimal performance.

8. Cross-functional Coordination

• Work closely with engineering, manufacturing, and quality teams to ensure successful product validation and release.
• Ensure alignment of testing outcomes with broader project goals and quality standards.
