Robotics Test Systems Engineer - Automation & Lab Architect

Dexmate Inc.; Fremont (CA); On-site; USD 110,000 - 140,000; Full time

Job summary

Dexmate is seeking a Test Systems Engineer to design automated test stations and rigs for our robotics platform in Fremont, CA. You will build data logging systems and dashboards, and run whole-robot functional tests that mirror real customer use.

You will qualify stations for accuracy, support mechanical and electrical test engineers, and help scale long-duration tests while ensuring lab safety and reliable operation of test software and hardware.

Qualifications

• BS in Mechatronics, Mechanical, Electrical, or Robotics Engineering, or equivalent hands-on experience.
• 3+ years building test equipment, automation, or robotic systems.
• Proficiency in Python for automation and data handling, and comfort with Linux command line.
• Hands-on experience with sensors, motors, and DAQ or PLC systems.
• Comfortable with mechanical assembly, wiring, and basic fabrication.
• Strong troubleshooting skills across mechanical, electrical, and software.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain automated test stations and rigs combining mechanical fixtures, motors, sensors, PLCs or microcontrollers, and software.
• Build data acquisition and logging systems, and dashboards that track test status and results across all test stations.
• Automate long-duration durability and duty-cycle tests to run unattended overnight and on weekends, with alerts and automatic shutdown on failure — scaling to dozens of modules on test in parallel.
• Qualify every test station for accuracy, repeatability, and stability before its data is trusted.
• Design simple interface boards and harnesses for test setups, and work with equipment suppliers on custom stations.
• Run whole-robot functional tests: mobility, manipulation, payload, terrain, and continuous operation.
• Develop and run working-condition tests based on real customer scenarios and environments.
• Assemble, configure, and prepare robots and subsystems for testing.
• Keep the lab running: equipment setup and calibration, spare parts and inventory, and lab safety (battery handling, robot motion safety zones).
• Support mechanical and electrical test engineers in executing their test plans.
