Job Summary
In this role, you will test robot arm software, ensuring its reliability and safety in real-world applications by validating applications, user interfaces, and motion commands.
Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- Together, we are taking the step into a new era of robots. You will ensure our robot arm software is reliable, safe, and ready for real-world deployment - validating behavior from operator workflows through application services to motion outcomes.
- Test all functionalities of the robotic system - from graphical user to interface to motion commands, PLC communication interfaces or safety functions.
- Support release and regression validation across versioned robot software, including localization and multi-environment testing.
- Work closely with robotics, firmware, application, and functional safety engineers to validate software components, safety-related behavior, and contribute to product stability and compliance.
- Develop and implement detailed Gherkin test cases and step definitions using Cucumber, Selenium, and Java for GUI and API testing.
- Build and maintain automated regression, smoke, and release test suites integrated into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitLab).
- Extend the test framework with reusable step definitions, page objects, test data management, and reporting.
- Execute automated and manual tests; analyze results to detect defects, regressions, localization issues, and performance bottlenecks.
- Log, track, and communicate issues clearly; maintain traceability between requirements and test cases.
- Create and maintain test documentation and user guides.
- Proactively identify opportunities to improve testing practices, coverage, and execution efficiency.
