Job summary

Botsync is hiring a robotics QA-focused engineer in Bengaluru to own hardware-in-the-loop acceptance testing for AMRs and MAG variants. You will build repeatable test infrastructures, automate end-to-end verification, and ensure robust defect reproduction and reporting in a fast-paced startup environment.

You will work across hardware, firmware, and software to pre-validate releases before field deployment, contributing to a reusable test catalog and ensuring high-quality artifact sign-offs.

Qualifications

• 4-6 years in robotics, mechatronics, or hardware test engineering (mobile robot/AMR preferred).
• Hands-on experience building HIL rigs, test fixtures, or hardware test automation.
• Genuinely full-stack: debug hardware, firmware, and software in a single test session.

Responsibilities

• Build and own the AMR acceptance test infrastructure across variants.
• Run full-stack hardware-software verification before sign-off.
• Design, build, and maintain HIL rigs and fixtures for multiple MAG generations.
• Automate deployment-profile gates and regression tests.
• Provide independent verification and log/reproduce defects for escalation.
• Turn one-off rigs into reusable acceptance test catalog with clear ownership.
• Support cross-artifact acceptance to achieve Botsync Artifact sign-off.

Job description

We started as roboticists ourselves. We know the pain of fragmented, proprietary systems that refuse to talk to each other. syncOS is our answer - and we believe it's what the industry has been waiting for. We are a young, passionate team chasing one big mission: #automateasia. If you love robots, hate inefficiency, and want to build solutions that run on real factory floors - read on.

The roles and responsibilities are:

• Build and own the test infrastructure that makes AMR acceptance testing repeatable across every MAG variant and hardware generation.
• Run the released Botsync Artifact through independent, full-stack hardware-and-software verification before sign-off - commissioning-grade rigor applied in the lab, before it ever reaches a site.
• Test infrastructure, end to end - Design, build, and maintain HIL rigs and physical test fixtures spanning every MAG AMR variant (lifter, forklift, counterbalance, conveyor, tugger) and hardware generation (R2/R3/new), so acceptance runs are repeatable, not improvised per release.
• Deployment-profile automation - Build and own the automation that runs deployment-profile gates per site/variant/generation against the release candidate, replacing manual bench-testing with a repeatable regression pass.
• Full-stack acceptance testing - Run the released candidate through hardware-level acceptance tests before sign-off, exercising hardware, firmware, and software together the way a commissioning engineer would on a live site - not layer by layer in isolation.
• Independent verification, not build - Test and certify robot behavior across variants and generations without owning or patching the production robot software or hardware under test; defects go back to the owning Robotics team, never fixed in place.
• Defect triage and traceability - Log, reproduce, and route hardware-surfaced defects to the correct Robotics or SyncOS team with enough rig data, logs, and repro steps to unblock a fix without back-and-forth.
• Test tooling reuse - Turn one-off rigs and scripts into a reusable acceptance test catalog with clear ownership, so hardware coverage doesn't live in one bench setup or one person's head.
• Cross-artifact acceptance support - Contribute the hardware-verification evidence that Acceptance QA + Release needs to cross-cut the robot and syncOS sides into a single Botsync Artifact sign-off.

How you'll work:

• Robotics Hardware & Software - You test what they build. You never patch their code or firmware; defects go back to them with rig data, not workarounds.
• Robotics QA - They own per-stack regression suites feeding into the AMR release candidate; you own hardware-level acceptance testing of the released candidate itself, one layer up.
• Head of QA / Acceptance QA + Release - Your test evidence feeds the artifact-level sign-off decision; the sign-off call itself sits with the team, independent of the teams whose work you're verifying.
• Field Delivery - Think of this role as commissioning-before-commissioning: you catch the hardware/software issues they'd otherwise catch on-site, just earlier and in the lab. You don't own site commissioning itself - that stays with Field Delivery; you feed them a cleaner artifact and take their field findings back into your gates.

Qualifications and Requirements:

• 4-6 years in robotics, mechatronics, or hardware test engineering, ideally with mobile robot or AGV/AMR platforms - or a commissioning/field-integration background where hardware and software issues get debugged together, not in separate silos.
• Hands-on experience building HIL rigs, test fixtures, or hardware test automation - not just running manual test scripts.
• Genuinely full-stack: comfortable debugging a motor fault, a firmware quirk, and a software/workflow bug in the same test session - the way a commissioning engineer has to on-site, applied here before release.
• Strong defect reproduction and reporting discipline - you can turn "it broke" into a repeatable rig scenario with clear evidence.
• Experience with deployment or release-gate processes in a hardware-in-the-loop or physical-product context.
• Independent judgment under pressure - comfortable holding a gate when a release is late and someone wants it waved through.
• Scripting and automation ability (Python or similar) to build repeatable test harnesses, not one-off manual checks.
• Bonus: exposure to AMR/AGV navigation, docking, or fleet-management concepts

Benefits and Culture:

• Competitive salary
• Comprehensive health benefits package
• Hustle of a young startup, always something to do and something to improve
• Opportunities for professional development and growth into management roles
• Collaborative and inclusive work environment
