Robotics QA Engineer

Robotics QA Engineer

Requirements

• A minimum of three years of quality assurance testing experience in hardware, robotics, or automation systems.
• Experience in industrial equipment testing, preferably with conveyor systems.
• Familiarity with HMI/touch interface testing methodologies.
• Experience with bug tracking systems (e.g., Jira, Linear) and test management tools.
• Understanding of automation testing and Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) processes for embedded systems.
• Proficiency in authoring precise test cases and bug reports detailing hardware/software interactions.
• Comfortable working with technical systems and comprehension of fundamental programming concepts.

Responsibilities

• Execute comprehensive test protocols for robotic food automation systems and conveyor integrations.
• Conduct regression testing to verify system stability following software updates.
• Administer automated test suites and scrutinize results for anomalies across the integrated system.
• Document test outcomes with meticulous bug reports, including step-by-step replication procedures, system logs, and video evidence.
• Perform manual testing using tangible food ingredients (e.g., fresh produce, proteins, sauces, grains).
• Assess system functionality across various food textures, temperatures, and consistencies.
• Confirm robot precision in food item manipulation.
• Conduct calibration verification of sensor systems.
• Validate touchscreen interfaces.
• Test operator alert mechanisms and emergency shutdown functionality.
• Verify the accuracy of production metrics and status displays.
• Evaluate UI responsiveness under system load conditions.
• Confirm user role permissions and security parameters.
• Proactively identify atypical scenarios that may challenge the system (e.g., malformed produce, ingredient variations, unique environmental constraints).
• Test under extreme environmental conditions: low luminance, high humidity, and temperature fluctuations.
• Develop test scenarios for intricate food automation edge cases (e.g., overlapping ingredients, irregular portions).
• Document and replicate system malfunctions using scientific methodology.
• Identify and evaluate time-sensitive interactions between robotic components.
• Adhere to and refine testing procedures and documentation.
• Maintain test data sets encompassing a variety of food variations.
• Participate in bug triage meetings and provide detailed feedback.
• Monitor and report quality metrics to discern trends.
• Construct reproducible test fixtures for complex scenarios.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with vision system validation.
• Familiarity with food processing or packaging equipment.
• Background in manufacturing or production environments.
• Experience with electromechanical system testing.
