Robotics Software Test Engineer information

What does a robotics software test engineer do?

A Robotics Software Test Engineer is responsible for designing, developing, and executing tests to ensure the software controlling robots functions correctly and safely. They create automated and manual test cases to validate the performance, reliability, and safety of robotics systems. This role often involves working closely with software developers, hardware engineers, and quality assurance teams to identify defects, troubleshoot issues, and improve the overall quality of robotic products. Additionally, Robotics Software Test Engineers help establish best practices for testing and may contribute to the development of test frameworks and tools.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a robotics software test engineer?

To thrive as a Robotics Software Test Engineer, you typically need a strong background in computer science, robotics, and software testing methodologies, often supported by a relevant engineering degree. Familiarity with test automation frameworks, simulation environments like ROS (Robot Operating System), and version control systems such as Git is commonly required. Attention to detail, analytical thinking, and effective teamwork are critical soft skills for identifying issues and collaborating with development teams. These abilities ensure high-quality, reliable robotics software that meets safety standards and performs as intended in complex environments.

What are some typical challenges faced by robotics software test engineers when validating autonomous systems?

Robotics Software Test Engineers often encounter challenges such as simulating real-world environments to thoroughly test autonomous behavior and ensuring robust communication between hardware and software. Debugging intermittent issues that only appear under specific sensor or actuator conditions can be particularly demanding. Additionally, keeping up with evolving robotics platforms and integrating new technologies while maintaining test coverage requires adaptability and continuous learning. Effective teamwork with developers and hardware engineers is crucial to quickly identify, reproduce, and resolve complex issues.

Job description

Who we are:
Hellbender Inc. is a Pennsylvania Benefit Corporation who partners with innovators to mature their Artificial Intelligence enabled computing sensors and produce their solutions onshore at prototype to high volumes.
Hellbender is intentionally forming an inclusive work environment and is committed to uplifting the historically marginalized identities including veterans, women, transgender people and underrepresented races in our community and industry.
MUST BE A U.S. PERSON
Job Summary:
As a Test Engineer at Hellbender, you will develop, execute, and improve test strategies for electromechanical, robotic, camera-based, and similarly complex hardware systems from prototype through production. You will work closely with electrical, mechanical, software, manufacturing, and quality teams to validate product performance, diagnose issues, automate repeatable tests, and ensure reliable operation in real-world conditions. This role requires strong hands-on technical ability, structured problem-solving, clear documentation, and the ability to translate system requirements into practical test methods, fixtures, and acceptance criteria. United States veteran and diverse candidates are encouraged to apply at any experience level.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities:
  • Develop, document, and execute test plans, procedures, and acceptance criteria for electro-mechanical, robotic, camera, sensor, and embedded hardware systems
  • Design, build, modify, and maintain test stations, fixtures, harnesses, and support equipment for engineering validation, production test, and troubleshooting
  • Create automated or semi-automated test tools, scripts, data collection methods, and analysis workflows to improve repeatability, throughput, and visibility into product performance
  • Analyze test results, identify trends and failure modes, document anomalies, and drive root-cause investigation with engineering and manufacturing teams
  • Validate camera and sensor performance, including image quality, calibration, alignment, timing, connectivity, and environmental robustness
  • Attend/support off-site third party tested for certifications or when internal resources are not adequate
  • Support system-level and component-level troubleshooting of PCBAs, wire assemblies, motors, actuators, cameras, sensors, power systems, and related electro-mechanical equipment
  • Support bring-up, integration, verification, and debug of new and existing PCBAs, subassemblies, prototypes, and finished products
  • Maintain accurate engineering documentation, including test procedures, work instructions, test reports, failure analysis summaries, and equipment configuration records
  • Provide feedback to improve product design robustness, manufacturability, serviceability, and test coverage

Qualifications, Skills, and Attributes:
  • Experience testing electromechanical, robotic, camera, sensor, embedded, or similarly complex hardware systems in R&D, validation, or production environments
  • Ability to translate product requirements, engineering intent, and failure modes into clear test plans, procedures, acceptance criteria, and reports
  • Experience with test equipment such as DMMs, oscilloscopes, current probes, power supplies, electronic loads, logic analyzers, signal generators, and data acquisition tools
  • Experience with mechanical and electrical integration, including PCBAs, cable harnesses, motors, actuators, sensors, cameras, optics, embedded compute, and power systems
  • Experience creating or maintaining test fixtures, harnesses, test stations, calibration methods, and work instructions for engineering and production use
  • Ability to read and understand PCB schematics, wiring diagrams, mechanical drawings, interface control documents, and product specifications
  • Strong troubleshooting skills with the ability to isolate issues across hardware, firmware, software, mechanical, optical, and system-level interfaces
  • Experience collecting, analyzing, and presenting test data using tools such as Python, MATLAB, Excel, databases, logs, serial terminals, or similar engineering workflows
  • Familiarity with camera testing concepts such as focus, alignment, exposure, image quality, calibration, sensor timing, bandwidth, and environmental performance is preferred
  • Team player, able to collaborate cross-functionally while also working independently and managing priorities in a fast-moving environment
  • Self-starter with strong attention to detail, clear communication, and a commitment to safe, organized, and well-documented engineering work
  • Experience with software and tools such as SolidWorks, Altium, PuTTY, Git, Python, Linux, AI tools, or similar engineering applications is preferred

Compensation:
This will be a salaried, exempt position. Compensation to be discussed relative to experience and abilities.
Benefits:
  • 401(k)
  • 5% Safe Harbor Contribution to 401k by Hellbender
  • 100% of Health, Dental, and Vision insurance premiums for employees and their families paid by Hellbender
  • 7.5 weeks total Paid time off
  • Profit Sharing (through 401k)
  • Hybrid work environment & flexible work schedule

Work Location: UPARC Pittsburgh
