Job summary

EPAM Systems in Boulder, Colorado is seeking a hands-on Test Automation Engineer specializing in Hardware and Robotics to support hardware automation test benches and robotic fixtures.

This lab-based role requires you to build, wire, maintain and troubleshoot electromechanical test stations, while interfacing with Python automation scripts to run tests and isolate failures. You will collaborate with multi-disciplinary teams and ensure meticulous data hygiene and clear communication daily.

Qualifications

• Hands-on experience operating collaborative or industrial robotic arms for data capture.
• Practical electromechanical fixturing and wiring experience (cable routing, harness fabrication, crimping, soldering, sensor/actuator mounting).
• Confidence using benchtop diagnostic tools: multimeters, power supplies, oscilloscopes.
• Working proficiency in Python for hardware interfacing (not a software architecture role, but must be comfortable navigating code).
• Strong systematic troubleshooting skills across mechanical, electrical, and software domains.
• Excellent attention to detail in data labeling/logging and clear communication skills.

Responsibilities

• Operate collaborative/industrial robotic arms to collect motion and sensor datasets.
• Assemble and maintain electromechanical test setups, including cable routing, wire harness fabrication, crimping, soldering, and mounting sensors/actuators.
• Use multimeters, power supplies, and oscilloscopes to diagnose electrical faults and signal integrity issues.
• Read, run, and modify Python scripts for hardware control, motion routines, and automated data collection pipelines.
• Systematically triage failures across the stack — distinguishing between mechanical binding, wiring dropouts, sensor calibration shifts, and script errors.
• Maintain high data hygiene standards: label and log data runs accurately.
• Provide clear daily blocker and station status reports.
