Test Automation Engineer, Hardware-in-the-Loop
Hadrian Automation, Los Angeles, CA
The role
Applied Physical Systems is a small, cross-functional engineering team at Hadrian. We build technology that spans more than one manufacturing capability, needs hardware and software designed together, and can't be bought off the shelf. We take a solution from proof of concept through prototype to a first production-ready version, then hand it to the teams that run it at scale. Engineers on the team design, build and commission their own systems on the factory floor.
You will build the test infrastructure that lets engineers and AI agents check hardware the way software teams check code. Your work will span designing and wiring test stands, writing the frameworks and CI that run them, and analyzing results from unattended test campaigns. You will work with the mechatronics, robotics, firmware and controls engineers whose systems run on your benches, and with software teams on CI and test data. You will also decide which questions need the bench and which ones simulation can answer.
