Job summary

ANYbotics is seeking a Robotics Test Engineer to strengthen the Motion Intelligence team in Zurich. You will build system-level tests for locomotion, software and mechatronics, translating real-world field behavior into robust verification coverage and reproducible lab and simulation scenarios.

You will implement test infrastructure and write Python tests while collaborating with software, controls, hardware and field engineering teams to improve reliability.

Qualifications

• Degree in robotics, mechatronics, computer science, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering or a related field.
• 3+ years of hands‑on experience with robotic or complex mechatronic systems across testing, integration, controls, development or field deployment.
• Strong software fundamentals and proficiency in Python for test automation, data analysis and tooling, with working knowledge of C++.
• Experience working with Linux and ROS or ROS2, together with an understanding of middleware and interfaces within complex robotic systems.
• Experience designing, automating or maintaining system‑level, integration or hardware‑software tests.
• Experience using robotic simulation tools such as Gazebo or Isaac Sim to reproduce behaviour and build test scenarios.
• A structured, methodical and rigorous approach, with clear written and verbal communication skills in English.

Responsibilities

• Design, build and maintain system-level and integration tests for the Motion Intelligence stack, enabling reliable release, regression and certification testing.
• Write clean and maintainable test code, primarily in Python, and help evolve our system-test infrastructure, testbeds and internal testing facilities.
• Define and maintain the Operational Design Domain for locomotion, translating environments such as stairs, ramps, tight spaces, dust, snow and mud into reproducible laboratory and simulation scenarios.
• Own the field‑to‑lab‑to‑simulation loop by analysing locomotion failures, reproducing them internally and turning them into lasting regression coverage.
• Build test coverage across the software and mechatronic system, including drive behaviour, motion performance, middleware interfaces and new hardware or firmware configurations.
• Apply simulation and hardware‑in‑the‑loop testing where they improve coverage, repeatability or development speed.
• Work closely with software, controls, hardware, systems and field engineering teams to raise the overall reliability and quality of the robot.
