Robotics Test & Integration Engineer

Based in Pasadena CA

OffWorld is a robotics startup working on developing amobilerobotic workforce for heavy industrial jobs on Earth Moon asteroids & Mars. OffWorld was founded by an experienced engineering team drawing on decades of tackling formidable engineering challenges at NASA ESANOAAMaxarTechnologies CERN Reaction Engines SAFRAN Surrey Satellites and Cisco.OffWorldsfirst challenge is developing and maturing a modular robotic system forextremeenvironmentson Earth. Ourrobots willgo deeper underground and farthest on Earth than humans caneliminate the need for humans to work in lifethreatening environmentsin mining construction tunneling and other dangerousindustriesand dramatically reduce the environmental footprint and cost ofoperationsin key economies on Earth and beyond.

We have designed a modular robotic architecture that focuses on maximizing the commonality and reusability across components for fast deployment and optimization. Our robotic systems combine sensor information cutting edge classical/machine learning (ML) algorithms and a robotics realtime system platform for control decision making and .

OffWorld is seeking a talented and motivated Robotics Test & Integration Engineer to join a fastmoving team working to create advanced robotic and space systems. As a Robotics Test & Integration Engineer you will be responsible for developing and executing testing and integration activities. These testing and integration activities span virtual tests (e.g. simulation) subsystem and system testing of robotic platforms at both testing facilities and fielddeployed sites (open pit and subterranean mines). You will work closely with crossfunctional teams including robotics engineers software developers and project managers to ensure that testing integration and overall development goals are met to the highest standards.

Responsibilities:

• Test Planning and : Create detailed test plans test cases and test scripts ensuring adequate coverage of all robotic system components and functionalities. Coordinate and execute testing activities including functional testing regression testing performance testing and stress testing.
• Test Automation: Identify opportunities for test automation and develop automated test scripts using appropriate tools and frameworks. Continuously improve the efficiency and effectiveness of testing processes through automation.
• Test Reporting and Documentation: Analyze test results and prepare comprehensive test reports documenting any defects issues or areas of improvement. Maintain detailed documentation of test procedures configurations and test environments.
• Collaboration and Communication: Collaborate closely with crossfunctional teams including robotics engineers software developers mechanical engineers and project managers to understand project requirements resolve issues and ensure alignment between development and testing activities. Communicate testing progress risks and recommendations to stakeholders.
• Continuous Improvement: Stay updated with the latest trends and advancements in robotics testing methodologies tools and technologies. Identify areas for process improvement propose innovative solutions and drive the implementation of best practices.

As the ideal candidate you possess the following:

• Bachelors or masters degree in computer science robotics or software / electrical / mechanical engineering or a related field.
• 2 years of engineering experience in (mobile and/or manipulator) robotics or similar
