Robotics Quality Assurance Engineer
Job description
We are looking for a Robotics Quality Assurance Engineer to own test case management, new-feature testing, and regression testing across our full-stack robotics solutions. Partnering with Engineering, you will build and maintain automated regression across software modules, simulation, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL), and SW/HW interfaces, so that every new feature is verified against its requirements and every software update is validated from the component level up to the full robot before it reaches the fleet.
At Skild AI, we are building the world's first general purpose robotic intelligence that is robust and adapts to unseen scenarios without failing.
Job responsibilities
- Design, develop, and maintain full-stack regression coverage across software components, HIL, and SW/HW interfaces, including happy-path, fault-injection, and recovery testing.
- Review requirements and designs for each release, write test plans and test cases for new features, and execute functional, integration, and on-robot testing before they ship, then promote validated tests into the…
- Build automated end-to-end tests, plus logged-data replay and scenario suites that catch performance drift across stack updates before release.
- Choose and apply the right type of robot simulation for each level of test automation, balancing speed, fidelity, and accuracy.
- Own test cases and their traceability to requirements, define pass/fail criteria, and triage failures with engineering teams.
- Integrate regression into CI so every release is validated at both the software and full-robot level ahead of fleet rollout.
- Partner with engineering teams to expand HIL coverage.
- Work with deployment teams to reproduce field-reported regressions and turn them into permanent regression tests.
Job requirements
- BS or MS in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical/Computer Engineering, or a related field.
- 5+ years of experience in software testing, robotics, or test automation; senior-level experience preferred.
- Strong programming skills in Python and Linux shell scripting, with hands-on experience building automated test frameworks and CI pipelines.
- Strong experience with robot simulation.
- Familiarity with ROS/ROS 2, and with testing web applications, IoT devices, or mobile applications.
- Hands-on experience with fault injection and logged-data replay.
- Rigor in requirements traceability and defect management.
- Experience testing autonomous mobile robots, manipulators, or other fleet-deployed robotic systems.
