Résumé du poste

Polymath Robotics in San Francisco is seeking a test specialist to validate physical autonomous vehicles in the field. You will execute defined test plans across bringup, stabilization and handover, and capture clean data for engineers to act on.

You'll run long-duration reliability tests, collect rosbags, logs and video, and report precise defects with steps. The role includes improving workflows, following safety protocols, and occasional travel to customer sites.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of hands-on test execution on physical robots or autonomous systems.
• Experience with long-duration reliability testing (MTBF, soak tests) and KPI tracking across builds.
• Disciplined documentation habits, with defect reports engineers can act on without follow-up.
• Comfortable with Linux and basic command-line tooling. Familiarity with ROS or rosbags is a plus.
• Willing to hold firm on a defect when engineering pushes back, and to bring the data that settles it.

Responsabilités

• Execute defined test plans on autonomous vehicles, covering navigation, obstacle detection, e-stop, geofencing and teleop, across bringup, stabilization and handover.
• Run long-duration reliability and regression campaigns on each vehicle before customer release.
• Collect and organize test data, including rosbags, logs, video and run records, for every test session.
• File precise, reproducible defect reports with steps, conditions, frequency and supporting data.
• Reproduce field issues by isolating variables such as lighting, terrain, dust, load and weather, and confirm fixes on subsequent builds.
• Improve your own execution workflow, including setup, data capture and reporting. Feed gaps you find in a test plan back to the Applications Engineer who owns it.
• Follow site safety procedures and work alongside customer safety drivers and operators.
• Travel occasionally to customer sites for on-vehicle testing.
