Robotic Tester

We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment visa at this time.

Overview

We are seeking a Robotic Tester – Data Collection Specialist to support robotics development through hands-on testing and operational data collection. This role involves interacting directly with robotic systems in a controlled lab environment, tele-operating devices, and documenting system behavior to support ongoing robotics research and development. This position is ideal for candidates with a STEM background and strong interest in robotics, gaming systems, and emerging technologies.

Responsibilities

• Operate and tele-control robotic systems within a lab environment.
• Interface with robots using wearable devices, controllers, and joystick-based systems.
• Perform multiple testing and data collection sessions throughout the day.
• Map and record visual input and system responses from robotic devices.
• Document testing procedures and outcomes to support ongoing program development.
• Report system issues and observations through established reporting tools.
• Assist with light scripting and system operation tasks (no coding or debugging required).
• Maintain clear documentation to help train new testers joining the program.

Work Environment

• On-site lab setting with frequent interaction with robotics hardware.
• Role may involve extended periods of physical movement and activity during testing.
• Use of game controllers, joysticks, and wearable interfaces to operate robotic systems.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in a STEM field (Engineering, Computer Science, Robotics, Physics, etc.).
• Strong interest in robotics, technology, and gaming systems.
• Comfortable operating controllers, wearable devices, and computer interfaces.
• Ability to document processes clearly and follow structured testing procedures.
• Detail-oriented with strong observational skills.

Preferred Background

• Experience with gaming controllers or simulation systems.
• Familiarity with robotics or human-machine interaction systems.
• Interest in robotics testing, data collection, and system validation.

Program Outlook

This role is part of a growing robotics testing initiative with a strong likelihood of extending beyond the initial engagement. Selected candidates may also help train additional team members and refine operational procedures as the program expands.
