Job Summary
In this role, you will test complex systems of quadruped robots, verify functions and communication interfaces, and contribute significantly to product quality improvement through systematic integration testing.
Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- At NEURA Robotics, we are building the next generation of cognitive robots. As a Test & System Engineer - Quadruped, you will ensure the functionality, reliability, and safety of our quadruped robotic systems through structured system and hardware testing.
- You will play a key role in validating robotic platforms before they pass critical quality gates and move into the next development or delivery phase. Working directly on real robot systems, you will execute integration tests, identify issues early, and collaborate closely with development and test automation teams to continuously improve product quality.
- Plan, prepare, and execute System Integration Tests (SIT) on NEURA's quadruped robots.
- Verify functions, sensors, actuators, and communication interfaces across the complete robotic system.
- Perform smoke and sanity tests as quality gates before SIT execution.
- Conduct end-to-end testing across hardware, software, electronics, and mechanical subsystems.
- Validate system behavior, performance, reliability, and safety requirements.
- Identify, document, classify, and track defects using Jira and related test management tools.
- Create structured test reports, test result documentation, and defect analyses.
- Support root cause investigations together with development and engineering teams.
- Ensure transparent communication of test status and product quality risks.
- Develop and maintain test benches, test rigs, and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) environments.
- Collaborate closely with Software Test Automation teams on automated test execution and CI/CD integration.
- Support acceptance testing, compliance validation, and product qualification activities.
- Contribute to the continuous improvement of testing processes, methodologies, and quality standards.
