Job summary

Amazon Robotics is seeking a Quality Assurance Engineer II to own quality for robotic systems deployed across Amazon's fulfillment network. This hands-on role defines test strategies, performs end-to-end testing across hardware, software, and firmware, and ensures releases meet quality standards before production.

You will build automated tests, develop reusable test infrastructure, and mentor teammates while collaborating with software, hardware, and systems engineers.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end test strategy for robotic features and systems — defining what to test, how to test it, and what infrastructure is needed, even when requirements are ambiguous or evolving.
• Create and execute test plans for complex test scenarios including system integration, robotic workcell validation, and safety‑critical functionality across hardware, software, and firmware boundaries.
• Design and build automated test solutions that are maintainable, reusable, and reliable — enabling other engineers to run and extend them independently.
• Develop test strategies for non‑functional areas such as performance, reliability, and regression detection to ensure product quality is measured objectively.
• Isolate, document, and validate defects with detailed evidence and root‑cause analysis, enabling development teams to triage and resolve issues efficiently.
• Represent quality assurance in cross‑functional discussions including design reviews, release readiness decisions, and retrospectives — advocating for quality at every stage of the development lifecycle.
• Collaborate with software developers, hardware engineers, and systems engineers to understand technical architecture and assess how changes impact test scope and product behavior.
• Mentor junior engineers, interns, and contractors — training them on products, test methodologies, and tools, and creating documentation that reduces tribal knowledge.
• Execute testing on physical test floors to qualify releases prior to production deployment, working directly with robotic systems and workcells.
• Proactively identify quality risks, propose solutions, and take on projects that improve testing processes or more accurately measure product quality.
