Test Engineer- Automated & Manual

About the role

We are seeking a versatile Test Engineer to validate advanced robotic platforms and their supporting systems, including embedded compute platforms, camera modules, sensor systems, and AWS-based cloud applications. This role emphasizes automated testing while also requiring hands-on manual testing in active lab environments. You will partner closely with hardware, software, and integration teams to ensure performance, reliability, and quality across the entire system stack.

Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and maintain automated test cases and frameworks for robotic subsystems, supporting software, and cloud applications.
• Develop and maintain Python and shell scripts to automate test execution, data collection, and validation workflows.
• Conduct manual testing on hardware and software components, including regression and validation activities, when required.
• Operate and validate devices in a lab environment, including setup, configuration, troubleshooting, and issue reproduction.
• Execute test plans, track pass and failure results, and ensure comprehensive regression coverage.
• Document test results clearly and accurately, author professional test reports, and track defects with detailed reproduction steps.
• Collaborate with hardware, software, and integration teams to debug complex issues and drive timely resolution.
• Enhance test processes, improve regression coverage, and support CI/CD integration to enable continuous quality improvements.
• Contribute to the design, review, and updating of test plans to ensure evolving features are validated effectively.
• Apply test engineering, validation, and regression testing best practices to support the reliability of next-generation robotic platforms.
• Use test equipment and follow structured test procedures to validate electrical and software systems in the lab.

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience in automated and manual testing of complex systems, including hardware, software, or cloud-based platforms.
• Strong proficiency in Python for test automation and scripting.
• Familiarity with shell scripting languages such as Bash for automation and tooling.
• Experience working in Linux environments and integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines.
• Ability to write clear, structured test cases and produce professional test reports and defect documentation.
• Hands-on experience in lab environments with hardware validation, debugging, and use of test equipment.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills for working with multidisciplinary hardware, software, and integration teams.
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a closely related field.
• Experience with software testing methodologies, test procedures, and test plan creation and execution.
• Ability to automate tests where needed and adapt automation strategies to evolving system requirements.
• Familiarity with Python testing frameworks such as pytest and unittest, as well as regression testing frameworks.
• Experience in validation, defect lifecycle management, and working with automation frameworks.
• Exposure to AWS or other cloud-based systems.
• Background in electrical engineering concepts and LabVIEW or similar tools is beneficial.
• Experience building computers, writing code, or assembling hardware.
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced R&D environment that combines hardware, software, and cloud systems.
• Experience with test engineering for robotic systems, camera modules, and sensor systems.
• Strong organizational skills and structured task management to handle multiple test activities in parallel.
• Comfort working fully onsite in lab and R&D settings and engaging directly with prototypes and test platforms.
