Our Engineering team is changing gears to meet the growing needs of our customers - from a handful of robots to hundreds of robots, from a small team to multiple squads. The team works closely with some of the premier enterprise customers in Japan to build state-of-the-art robotics solutions by leveraging rapyuta.io, our cloud robotics platform, and the surrounding ecosystem. The team’s mission is to pioneer scalable, collaborative, and flexible robotics solutions.
As robotics moves from pilot deployments to large-scale industrial adoption, ensuring quality across mechanical, electrical, and software subsystems is critical. Our QA team is at the heart of delivering safe, reliable, and scalable robotic solutions powered by rapyuta.io, our cloud robotics platform.
We are seeking a Senior Quality Assurance Engineer with 8–12 years of hands-on experience testing mechatronic and robotic systems. This role is an individual contributor position, focused on designing and executing tests, building automation rigs, debugging failures, and driving subsystem and system-level validation. You will collaborate closely with hardware, firmware, and software teams to ensure robust, reliable robotics solutions.
Requirements
Key Responsibilities
- Execute manual and automated validation of electronics, mechanical, and integrated robotic subsystems.
- Design and implement automation test rigs and hardware-in-the-loop setups for subsystem/system testing.
- Write, maintain, and execute automation scripts and test tooling (Python preferred, C++ as secondary).
- Perform root cause analysis of failures across hardware, firmware, and software boundaries.
- Contribute to test planning and provide feedback on system specifications.
- Collaborate with QA leads and cross-functional engineers to integrate test coverage into development cycles.
- Generate test reports, defect logs, and regression analyses to track system quality.
- Support continuous improvement of QA practices, tools, and test infrastructure.
Minimum Qualifications (Must-Have)
- 8–12 years of QA/testing experience with mechatronic, robotic, or embedded hardware systems.
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechatronics, Mechanical, Electrical, or related Engineering fields.
- Hands-on experience in manual validation of electronics and mechanical subsystems.
- Proven experience building and executing automation rigs / HIL test environments.
- Strong skills in Python test automation and working knowledge of C++.
- Proficiency in Linux systems, CI/CD pipelines, and version control (Git).
- Strong debugging skills across hardware–firmware–software interactions.
Preferred Qualifications (Good to Have)
- Experience with ROS, robotics simulations, and HWIL setups.
- Understanding of embedded electronics and system reliability testing.
- Familiarity with QA frameworks such as Pytest, Selenium/Playwright, JUnit, or TestNG.
- Prior experience in QA for robotics, automation equipment, or hardware products.
- ISTQB certification (Foundation or Advanced).
- Exposure to additional CI/CD platforms (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, CircleCI).
- Japanese language proficiency (nice to have).
Benefits
- International working environment
- Bleeding edge technology
- Working with exceptionally talented engineers
