Descripción del empleo

We're redefining how robots are deployed. Our platform enables users to simulate, test, and optimize entire robotic systems in parallel. By removing the barriers that have kept advanced robotics out of reach for all but the largest players, we're ushering in a new era of manufacturing—one where mass reshoring is not only viable, but inevitable.

Reporting to the Validation Lead, the Software Quality Assurance (SQA) Engineer will validate and improve the reliability of our Windows-based connector products. These connectors integrate our motion planning technology with robotic simulation tools and customer environments. This role is ideal for someone early in their career who is excited about automation, enjoys debugging complex systems, and wants to work at the intersection of software and robotics. You'll contribute to both manual and automated testing, with a strong emphasis on Python-based test development.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, execute, and maintain test cases for Windows-based connector applications
• Develop and extend automated test frameworks using Python
• Validate integrations with robotic simulation tools and related software environments, such as Siemens Process Simulate, Visual Components, and MELSOFT Gemini
• Investigate test failures, reproduce issues, and collaborate with engineers to resolve defects
• Contribute to CI pipelines (GitLab CI) to ensure reliable, repeatable test execution
• Perform exploratory testing on new features and releases
• Improve test coverage, reliability, and reporting
• Document test results, bugs, and validation processes

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)
• Basic programming experience in Python
• Familiarity with Windows environments (installation, configuration, debugging)
• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail
• Clear written and verbal communication skills

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with automated testing frameworks (e.g., pytest, unittest)
• Exposure to CI/CD systems (e.g., GitLab CI, GitHub Actions)
• Experience with version control systems (e.g., Git)
• Familiarity with scripting or development in C# or C++
• Academic, personal, or internship experience in robotics or automation
• Exposure to robotic simulation or programming tools
• Experience testing APIs or distributed systems
• Interest in industrial automation or manufacturing workflows

What Success Looks Like

• You can independently run and debug test suites for connector releases
• You contribute meaningful automated tests within your first few months
• You proactively identify quality gaps and suggest improvements
• You become comfortable working with both software engineers and simulation environments

Why This Role

• Work on real-world robotics applications used in manufacturing environments
• Gain hands‑on experience with automation, CI systems, and complex integrations
• Learn from a highly technical team working on cutting‑edge motion planning software
• Opportunity to grow into QA automation, validation leadership, or software engineering roles

Benefits

• Competitive Healthcare Coverage
• Unlimited PTO
• Commuting Expenses Covered
• Telecommunications Stipend
• 401(k) Match
• HSA Employer Contribution
