About the Role
As a Robotics Systems Validation Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in ensuring the reliability and performance of advanced autonomous mobile platforms. You will bridge the gap between hardware design and software execution by conducting rigorous system-level testing, sensor validation, and mechanical durability analysis to drive product maturity.
Responsibilities-
Develop and execute comprehensive test plans for system and subsystem Design Verification Testing (DVT) to accelerate engineering feedback loops.
-
Perform mechanical fatigue, life-cycle, and durability testing to ensure long-term platform reliability.
-
Conduct detailed failure analysis and physical teardowns to identify root causes and implement corrective design improvements.
-
Design and fabricate custom test fixtures and mechanical rigs to support ongoing validation programs.
-
Automate sensor and controls validation using Python scripting to streamline data acquisition and software performance analysis.
-
Document test results and translate complex technical findings into actionable recommendations for cross-functional engineering teams.
Qualifications-
Bachelor’s degree in Robotics, Mechatronics, Mechanical, or Systems Engineering.
-
5+ years of professional experience in robotics validation, testing, or mechatronics.
-
Demonstrated expertise in mechanical durability testing, fatigue analysis, and failure investigation.
-
Proficiency in Python for test automation, data logging, and workflow optimization.
-
Strong working knowledge of GD&T, metrology, and structured V&V methodologies.
-
Advanced proficiency in CAD software such as SolidWorks or CATIA for fixture design.
-
Experience supporting hardware sustainment and product lifecycle management.
-
Proven ability to communicate technical insights effectively to diverse engineering stakeholders.
