Job description

Your mission & challenges

Together, we are taking the step into a new era of intelligent robotics:

  • Develop and implement detailed Gherkin test cases and corresponding step definitions using Cucumber, Playwright and TypeScript for both GUI and API testing.
  • Develop and maintain GitLab CI/CD pipelines to support automated test execution across different stages.
  • Execute automated and manual tests, analyze outcomes to detect defects or performance bottlenecks.
  • Test and validate node-graph based application logic and workflows, ensuring correctness of visual programming behavior.
  • Support testing and validation of digital twin simulations, ensuring consistency between simulated and real robot/system behavior.
  • Contribute to testing of robot arm related functionalities, including motion, manipulation, and system integration.
  • Log, track, and communicate issues discovered during testing, working closely with engineering teams to drive timely resolution.
  • Create and maintain clear test documentation and user guides, while continuously enhancing the test framework to boost efficiency and coverage.
  • Work collaboratively with system engineers to ensure effective testing of software components and contribute to overall product stability.
  • Proactively identify opportunities to refine testing practices and introduce improvements to streamline test development and execution.

Cross-functional collaboration

  • Partner with software developers, robotics engineers, AI researchers, and product teams throughout the development cycle.
  • Help ensure that new features are released with high quality, reliability, and safety standards.
  • Contribute to the overall stability and performance of the platform by providing structured feedback and validation insights.
  • Support a culture of quality by championing testing best practices and continuous improvement.

What we can look forward to

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field but strong background in robotics
  • Minimum of 3-5 years of experience in test automation, system testing, validation, or verification of complex systems, preferably in the robotics industry
