Senior Test Development Engineer
San Carlos, CA$148k - $181kFull-timePosted 2mo ago
About the role
Role focused on developing and owning test systems for NEO electronics and robotic subassemblies, from design release to high-volume production, spanning software, electronics, firmware, fixtures, and production operations.
Responsibilities
- Own functional and end-of-line test stations for robot subassemblies (feet, head, battery, hands, arms, power boards) across their full lifecycle — requirements through deployment, maintenance, and corrective action.
- Ship operator-facing test apps with guided flows, clear pass/fail verdicts, robust error handling, and unit-level traceability.
- Improve station uptime, cycle time, test coverage, data quality, and deployment repeatability as production scales.
- Reduce escaped defects by reproducing and resolving failures across hardware, firmware, software, instruments, fixtures, and process — driving corrective action when stations or products fail.
- Connect results, serial numbers, board IDs, and logs into test-data systems so production data becomes actionable insight.
Qualifications
- Background in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Robotics, or equivalent practical experience.
- Proficiency in Python and/or C++, with willingness to work in both.
- Ability to read schematics and debug electronics at the board or subsystem level.
- Exposure to embedded systems, microcontrollers, or protocols such as CAN, SPI, I2C, UART, Ethernet, or EtherCAT.
- Hands-on experience with bench instrumentation (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, multimeters, programmable power supplies).
