Software Test Engineer

Your mission & challenges

As a Senior Test Engineer, you will take ownership of the quality and reliability of our robot arm software — not just executing test strategy, but shaping it. You will coordinate testing efforts across teams, mentor junior engineers, and ensure our systems are safe, robust, and ready for real-world deployment across the full stack — from operator workflows to application services to motion outcomes.

Robot arm & system testing

• Lead end-to-end testing of the robotic system — GUI, motion commands, PLC communication interfaces, and safety functions — and take ownership of test strategy across releases.

• Drive release and regression validation across versioned robot software, including localization and multi-environment testing, coordinating timelines and dependencies across teams.

• Act as the key point of contact between robotics, firmware, application, and functional safety engineers — coordinating validation tasks, aligning priorities, and resolving cross-team blockers.

• Apply mechatronics fundamentals (mechanical, electrical, and control systems integration) to anticipate failure modes and design tests that catch real-world integration issues early.

• Coordinate test task planning and execution across multiple work streams, ensuring coverage, priority alignment, and on-time delivery.

Test automation & framework

• Own and evolve the test automation framework — Gherkin, Cucumber, Selenium, and Java — for GUI and API testing, setting standards for the wider team.

• Architect and maintain scalable automated regression, smoke, and release test suites integrated into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitLab), optimizing for speed and reliability.

• Establish best practices for reusable step definitions, page objects, test data management, and reporting; review and guide contributions from other engineers.

• Analyze test results to detect defects, regressions, localization issues, and performance bottlenecks; drive root-cause investigations on complex or recurring issues.

• Ensure traceability between requirements and test cases; oversee issue logging, tracking, and clear communication to stakeholders.

• Create and maintain test documentation, user guides, and onboarding materials for the test team.

• Proactively identify and lead initiatives to improve testing practices, coverage, and execution efficiency across the organization.
