About the role

Lead a multidisciplinary Test Lab organization across multiple sites to plan, execute, and optimize hardware and physical system testing for robotics verification and validation, including standing up new lab spaces, managing test demand, and developing the lab team and processes.

Responsibilities

  • Lead execution of hardware and physical system test and experimentation campaigns across multiple lab locations, ensuring tests are run safely, on schedule, and with high-quality data in support of verification and validation goals.
  • Partner with cross-functional project groups—hardware, software, systems, and quality engineering teams—to understand test requirements, plan lab capacity, and support experimentation from setup through data collection and review.
  • Build and own test request intake and management processes and systems, standardizing how test demand is submitted, prioritized, scheduled, and tracked across sites.
  • Provide visibility into lab testing activities, capacity, and equipment availability by developing dashboards and reporting that help stakeholders track test status, utilization, and throughput across sites.
  • Lead and develop a multidisciplinary lab team (infrastructure, controls, operations, and maintenance staff) across multiple test lab locations, providing coverage across shifts and on-call rotations.
  • Own the operation, availability, and uptime of test environments, fixtures, lab equipment, control systems (PLC, I/O), motion capture systems, and environmental test chambers.
  • Establish and continuously improve lab operational processes, SOPs, and documentation to enable safe, repeatable, and high-throughput testing.
  • Oversee preventive and corrective maintenance programs for lab equipment and electro-mechanical systems to maximize test readiness.
  • Stand up new lab spaces, coordinating equipment sourcing, installation, calibration, and onboarding of staff to bring labs online on schedule.
  • Ensure safety compliance and manage lab safety protocols specific to robotics hardware testing (e.g., gantry interlocks, robot safety devices, lockout procedures).

Qualifications

  • Experience in engineering team management
  • Bachelor's degree in Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field
  • 7+ years of experience in technical lab, robotics, electro-mechanical, or automation environments, including operating, testing, and maintaining equipment
  • 3+ years of experience leading or managing technical teams or lab/test operations
  • Experience planning and executing hardware or physical system test or experimentation campaigns in partnership with cross-functional engineering teams
  • Experience managing lab resources, equipment, supplies, and operational processes across one or more lab environments
  • Experience troubleshooting, diagnosing, and maintaining electro-mechanical systems, control systems (e.g., PLC, I/O), or lab equipment
  • Experience interpreting engineering documentation, including CAD, drawings, schematics, equipment specifications, test procedures, and/or SOPs
  • Experience with project management of technical projects, including scheduling, tracking, and documentation
