About the role

Define quantitative acceptance criteria for pick-and-place accuracy, cycle time, model performance, safety behavior, and hold releases to them.
Plan and run full-system test campaigns on heavy (~1,000 lb) robots in our yard, across real weather, lighting, dust, and temperature.
Test across the panel SKUs and conditions the robot must handle in production, from new hardware to changing site and weather conditions.

Gritt https://www.gritt.ai is an intelligent system that combines robotics and AI to build the infrastructure that pulls society forward.
Gritt deploys via simple attachments to common equipment found on construction sites and autonomously performs labor-intensive tasks, verification, and planning.
Gritt systems are already building critical infrastructure in the harshest outdoor environments, starting with large-scale solar.
Own the test strategy for the autonomy stack across perception, planning, manipulation, and the models that run locally on every robot.
Design and build mechanical and electrical test fixtures and instrumentation that make results measurable and repeatable.
Develop, document, and enforce safety procedures for testing large autonomous machines around people and equipment.
You will define the test strategy, build the automation and fixtures that catch regressions before they ship, and lead full-system test campaigns on heavy machines.
Produce clear, data-driven test reports and maintain traceability from requirements through to test execution and results.

You are comfortable working hands-on with heavy machinery outdoors and take procedure seriously.
Familiarity with robotics frameworks like ROS2.
Must have excellent problem-solving skills.

M.S/B.S degree in robotics, vision, computer science, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering or other engineering disciplines (or equivalent experience).

We are looking for a Robotics System Test Engineer to own how we prove our robots are ready, across both the autonomy software and the physical machine.
