About the role

You'll write the tools, scripts, and systems used to run tests, collect data, and measure performance over time, and you'll set the technical direction and priorities the rest of the team works against.
The managerial side is about multiplying the team's output: setting priorities, unblocking people, and owning how testing gets executed across the company.
This role is based in San Francisco, CA.

Droyd builds autonomous robotic systems to automate manual work for enterprises.
We design the hardware, write the control stack, and deploy robots that operate in production environments.
Join us and help build hardware that ships.
As a Test Software Engineer at Droyd, you'll build the software infrastructure that powers robot testing and evaluation, and you'll lead the test team as it grows.
This role is based in San Francisco, CA. We're an in-person company. We build faster that way.
Our test team develops the infrastructure used to benchmark robot behavior, validate changes, support demos, and run repeatable evaluation workflows.
This includes both physical test environments and the software systems that drive them.
We build faster that way.
Support benchmarking for teleoperation, robot behavior, and AI policy performance
Work closely with test technicians, mechanical designers, and robotics engineers to support test execution

Experience leading a team or owning a technical workstream end to end
Experience with robotics, hardware systems, or embedded-adjacent tooling
Experience with data logging, experiment tracking, or result analysis
Familiarity with Python and common robotics or automation workflows
If we do this right, robots stop being prototypes and start being infrastructure.

Droyd builds autonomous robotic systems that automate repetitive manual work in production environments.
Fast product progress depends on having strong test systems that can evaluate hardware and software quickly, consistently, and at scale.
