Test & System Engineer - Quadruped (human)

Your Mission & Challenges

At NEURA Robotics, we are building the next generation of cognitive robots. As a Test & System Engineer – Quadruped, you will ensure the functionality, reliability, and safety of our quadruped robotic systems through structured system and hardware testing.

You will play a key role in validating robotic platforms before they pass critical quality gates and move into the next development or delivery phase. Working directly on real robot systems, you will execute integration tests, identify issues early, and collaborate closely with development and test automation teams to continuously improve product quality.

System Testing & Validation

Plan, prepare, and execute System Integration Tests (SIT) on NEURA's quadruped robots

Verify functions, sensors, actuators, and communication interfaces across the complete robotic system

Perform smoke and sanity tests as quality gates before SIT execution

Conduct end-to-end testing across hardware, software, electronics, and mechanical subsystems

Validate system behavior, performance, reliability, and safety requirements

Defect Management & Analysis

Identify, document, classify, and track defects using Jira and related test management tools

Create structured test reports, test result documentation, and defect analyses

Support root cause investigations together with development and engineering teams

Ensure transparent communication of test status and product quality risks

Test Infrastructure & Continuous Improvement

Develop and maintain test benches, test rigs, and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) environments

Collaborate closely with Software Test Automation teams on automated test execution and CI/CD integration

Support acceptance testing, compliance validation, and product qualification activities

Contribute to the continuous improvement of testing processes, methodologies, and quality standards
