Senior Test and Validation Engineer
Humanoid, Canada, Vancouver, BC
The role
As a Senior Test and Validation Engineer at Humanoid, you will be responsible for bringing new hardware subsystems into a functional, controllable, measurable, and integration-ready state, including calibration, tuning, characterization, and modeling across actuators, hand/gripper mechanisms, and integrated robotic assemblies.
You will work closely with mechanical design, firmware, controls, manufacturing, and system integration teams to diagnose unstable behavior, define the right parameters and models, and accelerate hardware maturity for upstream controller and software development.
What you will do
- Design, plan, and execute test procedures for actuators, mechanisms, grippers, and robotic hands.
- Build and maintain test fixtures and test rigs for dynamic and endurance testing.
- Tune and calibrate sensors like encoder and control loops in the driver, including current, velocity, and position control, and verify stability conditions.
