Hardware Test Engineer, Robotics
TAR, San Francisco Bay Area
The role
As a Hardware Test Engineer for the robotics program, you stand up the test function from zero and own it: the rigs, the instrumentation, the test plans, and the reliability data that decides whether a robot is ready to leave the shop. You design and build fixtures yourself, end to end, and own every failure from first appearance to proven fix. This is a hands-on role for an experienced engineer at our San Francisco robotics facility, with travel to our West Texas site for field testing.
What you will do
- Design and build the test harnesses, rigs, and fixtures required to test robotic systems from the subsystem level through a production representative design.
- Turn requirements and design constraints into executable test plans covering functional, durability, accelerated life, and environmental testing, with SOPs that let others run tests in parallel without you.
