Job description

About the role

This new role at REV Robotics sits at the intersection of software and hardware: in addition to building the fixtures themselves, you will work directly on the embedded devices under test, so hands‑on embedded systems experience is essential. The successful candidate will work with the software and hardware teams to design and build test fixtures and the software that drives them, using single board computers to exercise, measure, and validate our robotics products. You will also own and improve the build systems that our C, C++, and Java projects depend on.

Job Location: Carrollton, TX

Pay Range: $98,000 - $115,000 per year

Note that no employment sponsorship of any kind is available for this position.

• Develop fixture control software on single board computers (e.g. Raspberry Pi) running Linux, interfacing with devices under test over GPIO, USB, serial, CAN, and similar interfaces
• Develop and modify embedded software on the devices under test to support testability, instrumentation, and debugging
• Create, maintain, and improve build systems (CMake, Gradle, etc.) for projects across the team
• Automate build, test, and release workflows so hardware and software can be validated quickly and repeatably
• Collaborate with the hardware, product development, and QA teams to define test coverage and requirements through the product life cycle
• Analyze test results and fixture data to identify failures and drive improvements
