Job Summary
In this role, you will develop testing strategies and plans for our robotics software. You will conduct both simulations and physical hardware tests to ensure the safety and reliability of our robots.
Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- As a Robotics Software Test Engineer, you will play a central role in ensuring the reliability, safety, and predictability of our robotic systems.
- Your work will span the entire control pipeline—from low-level C-based APIs to ROS 2 interfaces and full hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) validation.
- Partnering closely with robotics software, controls, and hardware teams, you will define and execute a testing strategy that guarantees our robots behave consistently and safely across all operating conditions.
- Develop clear, scalable test plans for our robotics software including the ROS 2 wrapper around our low-level arm and hand control APIs.
- Design unit, integration, system, and HIL tests that validate the translation between ROS 2 interfaces and the underlying C-based control API.
- Build mock environments using frameworks/tools such as gTest/gMock to isolate and test ROS 2 topics, services, actions, and parameter handling.
- Execute integration tests in simulation and on physical robotic hardware to verify the full control chain.
- Ensure state reporting, diagnostics, and error-handling mechanisms operate reliably within the ROS 2 ecosystem.
- Test the ROS 2 hardware interface, including initialization routines, state interfaces, and command interfaces.
- Conduct structured hardware testing, progressing from unit tests to SIL (software-in-the-loop) and HIL (hardware-in-the-loop) for complete end-to-end validation.
- Develop automated test scripts and custom tools that extend standard ROS 2 utilities.
- Perform long-duration stability tests, performance evaluations, and controlled fault-injection experiments.
- Document results, analyze system behavior, and collaborate with developers to identify, track, and resolve issues.
- Continuously refine testing workflows to improve coverage, safety, and confidence in every software release.
