Robotics Test Engineer

About this role

Apptronik seeks a Robotics Test Engineer to develop and maintain automated integration tests for Apollo, a humanoid robot. You'll write pytest-based tests, investigate defects, expand regression coverage, and collaborate with senior engineers to ensure software quality at scale.

What you'll do

• Write automated integration and conformance tests in pytest aligned with software requirements and release gates
• Investigate CI failures and defects alongside senior engineers using debugging tools and log analysis
• Convert discovered defects into permanent regression tests to prevent future escapes
• Execute and maintain test suites on hardware-in-the-loop benches and report results
• Maintain test suite health by triaging flaky tests and updating fixtures as the stack evolves
• Engage with requirements documents and raise clarifying questions to Systems Engineering

What they're looking for

• Python programming with ability to write clean test code
• pytest or equivalent test framework (fixtures, parameterization, organization)
• Linux command line fluency and basic shell scripting
• Git fundamentals and pull request workflows
• Debugging and root-cause analysis
• Technical communication and documentation
• C++ code comprehension
• Learning agility in robotics and verification engineering
