What Youll Do

You write the code that proves our software works. SDETs are developers first. You build the test-automation and feature test suites the rest of QA runs on and you validate features in real time alongside the engineers building them so bugs are caught before they become tickets

Responsibilities

• Build and own automated tests and feature test suites (end-to-end integration)

• Validate features in real time during the sprint partnering tightly with developers so defects are solved as they appear.

• Hand off maintainable feature test code to Systems Test Engineers and support them as they extend it.

• Build SW-based mocks/simulators for hardware (e.g. grippers) so testing isnt gated on physical hardware.

• Develop tooling and infrastructure that makes the whole QA org faster (test data reporting).

• Review designs and PRs for testability and push coverage upstream into development.

Skills Youll Bring

• Quality-First Mindset: Quality is the job not a gate at the end of it. You value simplicity reliability and velocity in equal measure treat every escaped defect as a process to fix and would rather prevent a bug than file one.

• Strong Software Engineering: 3 years (or strong equivalent) writing production-quality code daily in Python TypeScript/JavaScript or similar.

• Test Automation & Frameworks: Deep experience in automated test infrastructure (Playwright pytest Jest) and CI/CD pipelines.

• Systems Thinking: Comfortable debugging networked/distributed systems.

• Collaboration: You enjoy pairing with developers and Systems Engineers.

Who You Are

A quality-first developer first and foremost. Someone who measures their work by what doesnt break in the field and who wants to apply strong software skills to robotic quality. No robotics background required.

Nice To Have

• Hardware-in-the-loop or system-level testing

• Embedded systems or real-time applications

• ROS2 Docker or robotics software stacks
