Job Description

About the role

Your Responsibilities

• Develop clear, scalable test plans for  our robotics software including the ROS 2 wrapper around our low‑level arm and hand control APIs
• Design unit, integration, system, and HIL tests that validate the translation between ROS 2 interfaces and the underlying C‑based control API
• Build mock environments using frameworks/Tools such as  gTest/gMock to isolate and test ROS 2 topics, services, actions, and parameter handling
• Execute integration tests in simulation and on physical robotic hardware to verify the full control chain
• Ensure state reporting, diagnostics, and error‑handling mechanisms operate reliably within the ROS 2 ecosystem
• Test the ROS 2 hardware interface, including initialization routines, state interfaces, and command interfaces
• Conduct structured hardware testing, progressing from unit tests to SIL (software‑in‑the‑loop) and HIL (hardware‑in‑the‑loop) for complete end‑to‑end validation
• Develop automated test scripts and custom tools that extend standard ROS 2 utilities
• Perform long‑duration stability tests, performance evaluations, and controlled fault‑injection experiments
• Document results, analyze system behavior, and collaborate with developers to identify, track, and resolve issues
• Continuously refine testing workflows to improve coverage, safety, and confidence in every software release

Essential Skills

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field
• 2–3 years of hands‑on experience testing robotics software, ideally with ROS 2
• Strong understanding of unit, integration, system, and hardware‑in‑the‑loop testing methodologies
• Proficiency with C++, Python, Linux development, and ROS 2 tools (topics, services, actions, launch_testing, etc.)
• Experience with gTest/gMock and mocking low‑level APIs
• Ability to work safely around robotic hardware and evaluate system behavior in real‑world tests
• Strong analytical skills and a structured, detail‑oriented testing mindset
• Experience with Git and collaborative development workflows

Beneficial Skills

• Experience testing control systems, hardware interfaces, or robotic manipulators
• Familiarity with ROS 2 hardware interface concepts (resource manager, controllers)
• Exposure to real‑time systems or low‑level control APIs
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines, automated testing frameworks, or simulation tools (Gazebo, Isaac Sim, etc.)
