About the Role We are looking for a Robotics Test Engineer to support software release validation, policy evaluations, and end-to-end metrics collection on our humanoid robots. You will work alongside our Test Team, owning day-to-day execution and growing into deeper HIL and automation responsibilities. This is not a standard web-QA role. You will be running tests on real robots, comparing simulation against reality, and helping us build the data pipeline that tells us whether each new software version is ready to ship. What You'll Do Software Release Testing Release Validation: Execute the end-to-end test pipeline for each new software release, ensuring quality gates are met before the build is deployed to the fleet. Regression Coverage: Run automated and manual regression suites against new builds; triage failures and route them to the right owner. CI/CD Participation: Contribute new tests to our CI/CD pipeline (GitLab CI, GitHub Actions) so that regressions are caught immediately after code merges. Policy Evaluations Eval Support: Help design and run policy evaluations for our learned behaviors - defining success criteria, executing trials, and collecting results in a reproducible way. Simulation: Run policy evaluations in simulation environments (Gazebo, NVIDIA Isaac Sim) in parallel with physical robot tests. Sim-to-Real: Track differences between simulation and physical robot results and feed findings back to the policy team. E2E Metrics Collection Metrics Pipeline: Support the collection of end-to-end performance and reliability metrics across releases, building consistent reporting the org can trust. Dashboards: Help maintain dashboards that highlight pass/fail rates, latency, and performance trends release-over-release. Data Hygiene: Keep test data clean and well-labeled so that long-term trends remain meaningful as the platform evolves. What We're Looking For Experience: 3+ years in software test engineering or test automation, ideally with some exposure to robotics, embedded systems, or another physical-systems domain. Coding: Strong proficiency in Python for scripting and test automation. Comfortable reading C++. Robotics Middleware: Working knowledge of ROS2 - you understand topics, services, and how to interact with a running robot. OS: Comfortable in Linux (Ubuntu) - terminal, shell scripting, basic system administration. Mindset: Methodical and curious. You enjoy finding the one weird edge case that breaks the build. Nice-to-Have Experience with robotics simulators (Gazebo, NVIDIA Isaac Sim, Unity). Exposure to Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) test benches. Basic electrical debugging skills (multimeter, oscilloscope). Awareness of safety critical standards (IEC 61508, ISO 26262). Tech Stack Languages: Python (primary), C++ (reading), Bash Robotics: ROS / ROS2 CI/CD: GitLab / GitHub Actions Simulation: NVIDIA Isaac Sim Hardware Interfaces: CAN, EtherCAT, Ethernet What We Offer Meaningful time off to rest and recharge: 23 days of annual leave (accrued), 15 days of paid sick leave, and paid company holidays. Fully funded private healthcare for UK employees, with broad provider access, virtual and in person care, and strong mental health and serious illness support. Equity included-we believe builders should share in what they build. Pension scheme with a total 8% contribution (5% employee, 3% employer) on full earnings. Free daily breakfast, catered lunch, and snacks in office. Collaboration with top tier engineers, researchers, and product experts in AI and robotics. Freedom to influence the product and own key initiatives.
