Descrizione del lavoro

Rhoda AI is building next-generation generalist robots and seeks a Test Engineer to advance validation across hardware, firmware, and software. You will create scalable test frameworks, hardware-in-the-loop environments, and data-driven validation tools to ensure product readiness.

Ideal candidates have 3+ years in robotics test engineering, strong Python/C++ skills, and hands-on lab experience with embedded systems. Collaboration across hardware, firmware, and software is essential.

Competenze

• 3+ years of experience in test engineering, robotics, or related engineering discipline.
• Proficiency in Python and/or C++.
• Experience with embedded systems and common comms protocols (CAN/SPI/I2C/UART).
• Hands-on with lab equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, multimeters).
• Experience with Git in collaborative environments.
• Strong systems-thinking and data-driven debugging mindset.
• Excellent written and verbal communication.

Mansioni

• Develop and maintain automated test frameworks for hardware, firmware, and software validation.
• Build hardware-in-the-loop and system-level validation environments that reflect real-world operation.
• Identify and help resolve multidisciplinary failures before milestones.
• Maintain traceability from requirements through validation results.
• Generate performance, reliability, and characterization data to inform decisions.

Descrizione del lavoro

At Rhoda AI, we're building the next generation of generalist intelligent robots. We own the full robotics stack from high-performance hardware and robot systems to the infrastructure and state-of-the-art foundation world models that control our robots. Our robots are designed to be generalists capable of operating in complex, real-world environments and handling long-tail edge cases, made possible by our cutting-edge research and end-to-end system design. We've raised over $450M and are investing aggressively in model research, infrastructure, hardware development, and manufacturing scale-up to make generalist robotics a reality.

What You'll Do

• Develop and maintain automated test frameworks that improve validation coverage and reduce manual testing effort across hardware, firmware, and software systems
• Build scalable hardware-in-the-loop and system-level validation environments that accurately represent real-world operating conditions
• Identify, reproduce, and help resolve complex multidisciplinary failures before they impact product milestones or deployments
• Maintain traceability between product requirements, test execution, and validation results across development programs
• Generate high-quality performance, reliability, and characterization data that informs engineering decisions and product readiness

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years of experience in test engineering, robotics, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, or a related engineering discipline
• Programming proficiency in Python, C++, or both
• Experience working with embedded systems, microcontrollers, and communication protocols such as CAN, SPI, I2C, or UART
• Hands-on experience using laboratory equipment including oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, multimeters, and power supplies
• Experience using version control systems such as Git in collaborative engineering environments
• Strong systems-thinking mindset with the ability to understand interactions across hardware, firmware, software, and robotics subsystems
• Excellent debugging and root-cause analysis skills grounded in data and experimentation
• Strong communication skills with the ability to clearly present technical findings to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

Nice to Have (But Not Required)

• Experience developing and maintaining automated test frameworks and validation infrastructure
• Experience with Linux-based development environments and real-time operating systems
• Familiarity with hardware-in-the-loop testing, robotic systems validation, or electromechanical product testing
• Experience designing test fixtures using CAD tools

Why This Role

• Your test infrastructure directly gates what ships - the confidence engineering teams have in the robot's performance runs through the systems you build
• Rare opportunity to work across hardware, firmware, and software on a single platform, with direct visibility into how issues get caught, root-cause, and fixed before they reach the field
• High ownership in a small team - you'll shape the validation methodology itself, not just execute a pre-defined test plan
