About the role

As a Robotics Test Engineer, your work will directly influence product quality, reliability, and readiness by turning complex system behavior into measurable engineering outcomes.
Identify, reproduce, and help resolve complex multidisciplinary failures before they impact product milestones or deployments
Generate high-quality performance, reliability, and characterization data that informs engineering decisions and product readiness

We're building humanoid robots that work in home - doing the chores, handling the tasks, and giving people their time back.
NEO is our flagship - a home robot designed to move, learn, and operate in the real world alongside real people.
We're scaling, we're hiring with intention, and we need people who want to build something that will genuinely change how humans spend their time - safely creating abundance for all.
Build the systems that validate the robot.
You will develop the infrastructure, automation, and processes that ensure NEO performs reliably across a wide range of operating conditions.
Build scalable hardware-in-the-loop and system-level validation environments that accurately represent real-world operating conditions
Maintain traceability between product requirements, test execution, and validation results across development programs

3+ years of experience in test engineering, systems integration, robotics, or a related engineering discipline
Strong programming proficiency in Python, C++, or both

Experience with Linux-based development environments and real-time operating systems
Familiarity with hardware-in-the-loop testing, robotic systems validation, or electromechanical product testing
Experience designing test fixtures using CAD tools
Familiarity with agile development methodologies and project management tools
Excellent debugging and root-cause analysis skills grounded in data and experimentation

Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
Generous paid time off, company holidays, and parental leave
Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) and Health Savings Accounts (HSA) options
Commuter benefits (transit and parking)
Short-term and long-term disability, and life insurance
Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for mental health, financial, and personal support

Develop and maintain automated test frameworks that improve validation coverage and reduce manual testing effort across hardware, firmware, and software systems
Strong systems-thinking mindset with the ability to understand interactions across hardware, firmware, software, and robotics subsystems
Strong software development capabilities for building automated testing tools and infrastructure
Hands-on engineering approach with comfort working directly on hardware, instrumentation, and robotic systems
Strong communication skills with the ability to clearly present technical findings to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
We've been at this since 2014 and we're at the point where the hard problems are behind us and the hard work is in front of us.
