Descripción del empleo

Roam Robotics develops lightweight wearable exoskeletons that augment human strength and endurance for military operators. Our pneumatic systems deliver an unmatched power-to-weight ratio, and our products are currently deployed in support of U.S. military programs. We're looking for engineers who want to build technology that matters and see it reach real operators in the field.

This is a full-time, on-site position at our San Francisco facility. You will own the software and electrical side of our test infrastructure — writing test software, executing burn-in and endurance protocols, troubleshooting and reworking PCBs, and designing custom boards as needed. You will work independently from day one without relying on the core engineering team for test infrastructure.

Responsibilities

• - Develop and maintain test software for functional verification, burn-in, and endurance monitoring
• - Execute structured burn-in and endurance test protocols; monitor results and surface anomalies
• - Troubleshoot and rework PCBs at the board and component level (soldering, bringup, debug)

Basic Qualifications

• - BS in Electrical Engineering or equivalent
• - 2+ years of experience in hardware test, electronics validation, or embedded systems
• - PCB design experience (Altium, KiCad, or equivalent)
• - Experience with embedded firmware or real-time systems
• - Hands‑on PCB rework and debug skills: soldering, oscilloscope, logic analyzer, multimeter
• - Experience writing test software (Python, C, or equivalent)
• - Able to work independently — owns test infrastructure without design-team support
• - Able to deliver quality work in a fast‑paced startup environment
• - On‑site at the Roam San Francisco facility

Bonus Points

• - Familiarity with pneumatic or electromechanical systems
• - Experience supporting production burn-in or end‑of‑line test at volume
• - Experience with wearable hardware or medical devices
• - Strong preference given to candidates available immediately
• - Roam pays 100% of Health, Dental, and Vision premiums for employees, 75% for dependents
• - 401(k)
