About the role
- What we're doing isn't easy, but nothing worth doing ever is.
- We move quickly, solve messy problems, and care deeply about reliability at scale.
- However, the position will require 50% travel to the Milwaukee, WI area and requires close collaboration across software, hardware, operations, and product engineering teams.
Responsibilities
- End-to-end test process ownership. Create, validate, and maintain production test protocols and gating criteria from incoming inspection through final test and shipment.
- Provisioning of bots. Design and operate provisioning flows (imaging, firmware deployment, configuration, validation) and the tooling/fixtures needed to provision and handoff robots for production.
- Test automation & infrastructure. Architect, implement, and maintain automated test frameworks, harnesses, and test rigs used at the CM site. Ensure tests are stable, fast, and provide actionable failure data.
- Cross-functional escalation & RCA. Lead root-cause analysis for field and production failures
- coordinate corrective actions with design, firmware, and CM engineering to close quality loops.
- Improved FPY and reduced rework rates across production builds.
- Create, validate, and maintain production test protocols and gating criteria from incoming inspection through final test and shipment.
- Cross-functional escalation & RCA. Lead root-cause analysis for field and production failures; coordinate corrective actions with design, firmware, and CM engineering to close quality loops.
Requirements
- Strong hands-on experience with firmware provisioning and validation for sensors and compute (sensor FW + compute/host FW).
- Outstanding communication skills and experience working closely with contract manufacturers, operators, and cross-functional engineering teams.
Nice to have
- Experience with robotics stacks (ROS or equivalent) and robotic sensor calibration/test.
- Familiarity with manufacturing automation tools, CI for embedded systems, and test frameworks (Python, pytest, LabVIEW, or similar).
- Experience with provisioning large fleets (device identity, secure image signing, automated configuration).
Skills
- On-site production leadership.
- Reduced per-unit cycle time for test/provisioning while increasing test coverage.
- Stable, fully automated provisioning flow with minimal manual intervention.
Benefits
- Own key production metrics - First Pass Yield (FPY), cycle time, and test coverage - and drive continuous improvements to meet throughput and quality targets.
