Your mission & challenges
Together, we are taking the step into a new era of robots. You will ensure our robot arm software is reliable, safe, and ready for real-world deployment — validating behavior from operator workflows through application services to motion outcomes.
Robot arm & system testing
-
Test all functionalities of the robotic system – from graphical user to interface to motion commands, PLC communication interfaces or safety functions
-
Support release and regression validation across versioned robot software, including localization and multi-environment testing.
-
Work closely with robotics, firmware, application, and functional safety engineers to validate software components, safety-related behavior, and contribute to product stability and compliance.
Test automation & framework
-
Develop and implement detailed Gherkin test cases and step definitions using Cucumber, Selenium, and Java for GUI and API testing.
-
Build and maintain automated regression, smoke, and release test suites integrated into CI/CD pipelines (e.g. GitLab).
-
Extend the test framework with reusable step definitions, page objects, test data management, and reporting.
-
Execute automated and manual tests; analyze results to detect defects, regressions, localization issues, and performance bottlenecks.
-
Log, track, and communicate issues clearly; maintain traceability between requirements and test cases.
-
Create and maintain test documentation and user guides.
-
Proactively identify opportunities to improve testing practices, coverage, and execution efficiency.
What we look forward to
-
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
-
3–5+ years of experience in test automation, system testing, validation, or verification of complex systems; robotics or industrial automation experience preferred.
-
Solid understanding of robot arm fundamentals — kinematics basics, joint vs Cartesian motion, reference frames, safety limits, and operator control software.
-
Proficiency in Java; familiarity with Python or C++ is a plus.
-
Hands-on experience with Maven, Selenium, Cucumber (BDD), API testing, and Git.
-
Experience with CI/CD, test reporting, and agile, cross-functional teams.
-
Fluency in English is required.
