Robotics Test Engineer - San Francisco, CA

• →3+ years of software engineering experience, with significant work on testing infrastructure, developer tools, or distributed systems
• →Strong Python — you'll write substantial code, much of it touching production-adjacent infrastructure
• →Experience designing and building automation pipelines (CI/CD, test orchestration, build systems)
• →Deep familiarity with at least one large-scale software platform — comfortable thinking in terms of APIs, abstractions, and platform usability
• →Excellent debugging and systems thinking — you'll be reasoning about failures across simulation, networking, serialization, and CI infrastructure
• →Comfort building greenfield — much of what you'll work on does not exist today

• Experience with robotics, autonomous vehicles, or other safety-critical systems
• Hands-on experience with simulation environments (Gazebo, CARLA, Isaac Sim, or proprietary)
• Familiarity with pub/sub messaging systems (ZMQ, ROS, DDS) and binary serialization formats (Cap'n Proto, Protobuf)
• C++ familiarity — enough to read and integrate against the autonomy stack
• Cloud infrastructure experience for parallel test execution (AWS/GCP, Kubernetes)
• Experience with hardware-in-the-loop testing or real-time systems
• Performance engineering background — you've debugged and optimized slow CI/test pipelines before

• Languages: Python
• Test Frameworks: pytest, simulation-based
• Infrastructure: Docker, GitHub Actions, cloud compute for simulation
• Communication/Documentation: Slack, Notion

• Build a simulation harness that runs the full autonomy stack against parameterized mining scenarios in cloud-based parallel execution
• Design a log-to-test-case pipeline that ingests a production log fragment and produces a deterministic replay test the QA Engineer can add to a regression suite
• Build a test platform dashboard that surfaces flaky tests, slow tests, and coverage gaps to the QA Engineer and developer lead

Actual compensation will be determined on an individual basis and may vary depending on experience, skills, and qualifications.

Base salary is just one part of your total rewards package. You may also be eligible for equity awards and an annual performance-based bonus.
