SDET for Robotics: Test & QA in Industrial Automation

Mujin; Suwanee (GA); On-site; USD 110,000 - 150,000; Full time

Job summary

Mujin is seeking a Software Developer in Test to bolster QA infrastructure and test tooling for its industrial robotics software stack in production environments.

The role emphasizes shift-left quality, building test frameworks, simulators, and tooling to ensure robust software across robot control, fleet services, and hardware integration.

You will collaborate across teams to validate both simulated and real-world hardware-in-the-loop scenarios, with up to 25% travel as needed.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s in robotics, engineering, CS or equivalent experience.
• Experience in software-driven product development for industrial automation/ robotics.
• Proficient in C++ and Python; Linux software development experience.
• Experience with networking stacks, async I/O, multi-threading, IPC and debugging distributed systems.
• QE strategies and QA test plans for electromechanical devices and software ecosystems.

Responsibilities

• Contribute test coverage, tooling, and simulators across a multi-repo software ecosystem spanning robot control, material handling equipment integration, and fleet/mobile robot services.
• Shift-Left quality engineering and test automation principles to incorporate first-time-right goals into the design phase of the software development process.
• Set up and maintain test automation frameworks and work with senior developers on how to find/fix bugs faster while increasing coverage.
• Work to support design and implement simulators for industrial robots, material handling equipment, sensors, and warehouse management systems.
• Review code and provide developers with constructive feedback to drive continuous improvements in quality and reliability.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to accelerate/expand test planning to include unit, functional, integration, end-to-end with dependencies, exception (negative) cases, and performance testing, including validating integration contracts and communication boundaries between control services and hardware bridge integrations.
• Operate with discipline and promote quality-first culture for timely delivery and exceptional user experience.
• Proactively diagnose sources of developer friction (release issues, production problems, rework due to gaps and errors) and develop corrective and preventative action plans to address.
• Other duties as required.
