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

Robotics Software Engineer
Location : Riviera Beach, FL
Duration : Long term- Permanent
Industry : Aerospace Defense
Job Overview
We are seeking a talented Robotics Software Engineer to design, develop, integrate, test, and maintain software for advanced robotic systems. The ideal candidate will have strong hands-on experience with C++, Linux, ROS, Git, and containerization technologies such as Docker or Podman.
In this role, you will work across the software development lifecycle-from requirements analysis and architecture through implementation, integration, testing, debugging, and deployment. You will collaborate closely with robotics, controls, simulation, AI/perception, and hardware teams to develop reliable software solutions for complex mission and engineering applications.
Key Responsibilities
  • Design, develop, integrate, test, and debug software for robotic systems and applications.
  • Develop robust software solutions using C++ in a Linux-based environment.
  • Develop and integrate robotics applications using ROS (Robot Operating System).
  • Apply software engineering best practices throughout the complete development lifecycle.
  • Use Git for source code management, version control, and collaborative development.
  • Build, deploy, and manage software using Docker and/or Podman containers.
  • Analyze software requirements, system capabilities, interfaces, and technical specifications.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve software defects, integration issues, and system-level problems.
  • Develop technical documentation, software design documentation, test procedures, and operating instructions.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to integrate software with robotic hardware and external systems.
  • Develop and execute unit, integration, and system-level testing.
  • Ensure software development follows established engineering standards, processes, procedures, and quality practices.
  • Support continuous improvement of development, integration, testing, and deployment processes.

Required Qualifications / Non-Negotiable Skills
Candidates must have hands-on experience with:
  • C++ Software Development
  • Linux
  • ROS / Robot Operating System
  • Git / Version Control
  • Docker or Podman / Containerization

    • Strong experience developing software for robotics, embedded systems, autonomous systems, or complex engineering applications is highly preferred.
    Preferred / Strongly Desired Skills
    • Python development
    • Windows development environment
    • Qt / Qt Framework
    • AI / Machine Learning / Perception
    • LLMs and AI-enabled applications
    • TensorFlow and/or PyTorch
    • Physics-based simulation / Digital Twin
    • Controls engineering
    • MATLAB
    • Closed-loop control analysis
    • CI/CD pipelines and automated software testing
    • Hardware and system I/O, including:
      • Serial communication
      • Ethernet
      • Digital interfaces
    • Experience integrating software with robotic sensors, actuators, controllers, and other hardware

    What We're Looking For
    The ideal candidate is a hands-on software engineer who can work effectively at the intersection of robotics, software, hardware, and simulation. You should be comfortable troubleshooting complex technical problems, working in a collaborative engineering environment, and taking software from development through integration and testing.
    Experience with autonomous robotics, AI/perception, simulation, controls, or hardware integration will be a strong advantage.
    Education & Experience
    • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical discipline preferred.
    • Relevant professional experience in software engineering, robotics, autonomous systems, or a closely related field.
