About the role

Senior/Lead Robotics Validation Engineer at AMD leading validation of robotics platforms, development of automated test suites, and leadership of robotics validation efforts across software, hardware, and integrated systems.

Responsibilities

  • Validation Strategy & Usecases: Define Usecases and execute validation plans for robotics software stacks (perception, planning, control) and hardware subsystems.
  • Automation & Frameworks: Develop automated test suites for ROS2 nodes, navigation stack (Nav2), and fleet APIs using Python/C++, pytest, gtest/gmock.
  • Simulation & Scenario Testing: Build simulation environments (Gazebo/Ignition, Isaac Sim) for warehouse layouts; author scenarios for obstacle avoidance, dynamic traffic, and multi-robot coordination.
  • SIL/HIL Validation: Set up Software-in-the-Loop and Hardware-in-the-Loop rigs for AMR controllers, LiDAR emulators, and safety sensors; automate provisioning and logging.
  • Sensor QA: Validate LiDAR, depth cameras, IMU, wheel encoders, and odometry accuracy under varying conditions.
  • Navigation & Fleet QA: Test SLAM, localization robustness, path planning, and fleet orchestration (traffic management, task allocation, VDA5050 compliance).
  • Safety & Compliance: Execute safety protocols for AMRs (emergency stop, zone monitoring, speed limits) aligned with ISO 3691-4, ISO 13849, ANSI/RIA R15.06.
  • Performance & Reliability: Measure latency, throughput, and stability under high-load scenarios; validate battery management and docking behaviors.
  • CI/CD Integration: Embed automated tests into pipelines for continuous validation; monitor KPIs like defect escape rate and scenario coverage.
  • Leadership: Act as a strong individual contributor and mentor for robotics validation teams; collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders to ensure customer experience is prioritized.

Qualifications

  • 6-12 years in QA/Validation, with 7+ years in robotics or AMR systems.
  • Strong Python for automation and C++ for ROS2 integration.
  • Hands-on experience with ROS2, Nav2 stack, colcon, and simulation tools (Gazebo/Ignition, Isaac Sim).
  • Expertise in LiDAR, depth cameras, IMU, odometry, and sensor calibration.
  • Familiarity with fleet management systems, traffic control, and VDA5050 protocol.
  • CI/CD experience with GitHub Actions/GitLab CI/Jenkins; Docker-based test environments.
  • Knowledge of functional safety standards for mobile robots (ISO 3691-4, ISO 13849).
