Your mission & challenges

Together, we are taking the step into a new era of robots. You will ensure our robot arm software is reliable, safe, and ready for real-world deployment — validating behavior from operator workflows through application services to motion outcomes.

Robot arm & system testing

Test all functionalities of the robotic system – from graphical user to interface to motion commands, PLC communication interfaces or safety functions

Support release and regression validation across versioned robot software, including localization and multi-environment testing.

Work closely with robotics, firmware, application, and functional safety engineers to validate software components, safety-related behavior, and contribute to product stability and compliance.

Test automation & framework

Develop and implement detailed Gherkin test cases and step definitions using Cucumber, Selenium, and Java for GUI and API testing.

Build and maintain automated regression, smoke, and release test suites integrated into CI/CD pipelines (e.g. GitLab).

Extend the test framework with reusable step definitions, page objects, test data management, and reporting.

Execute automated and manual tests; analyze results to detect defects, regressions, localization issues, and performance bottlenecks.

Log, track, and communicate issues clearly; maintain traceability between requirements and test cases.

Create and maintain test documentation and user guides.

Proactively identify opportunities to improve testing practices, coverage, and execution efficiency.

What we look forward to

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.

3–5+ years of experience in test automation, system testing, validation, or verification of complex systems; robotics or industrial automation experience preferred.

Solid understanding of robot arm fundamentals — kinematics basics, joint vs Cartesian motion, reference frames, safety limits, and operator control software.

Proficiency in Java; familiarity with Python or C++ is a plus.

Hands-on experience with Maven, Selenium, Cucumber (BDD), API testing, and Git.

Experience with CI/CD, test reporting, and agile, cross-functional teams.

Fluency in English is required.
