About the Role
Diligent builds helpful robots that work safely and autonomously in real world environments. We move quickly, solve messy problems, and care deeply about reliability at scale. This role will own production test for our robots at our contract manufacturer, designing and running robust end-to-end test protocols, provisioning fleets of robots for production, and owning the KPIs that define production quality.
Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end test processes, including creating, validating, and maintaining production test protocols and gating criteria from incoming inspection through final test and shipment.
- Design and operate provisioning flows (imaging, firmware deployment, configuration, validation) and associated tooling/fixtures.
- Own key production metrics such as First Pass Yield (FPY), cycle time, and test coverage, driving continuous improvements to meet targets.
- Architect, implement, and maintain automated test frameworks, harnesses, and test rigs.
- Lead root-cause analysis for field and production failures and coordinate corrective actions with cross-functional teams.
- Act as the onsite technical authority at the contract manufacturer, training operators, debugging failures, and refining processes.
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in production/test engineering for complex electro-mechanical products (robotics, medical devices, consumer electronics, or similar).
- Proven ownership of E2E production test processes and production provisioning at a contract manufacturer.
- Deep familiarity with test protocol development, including test specification writing, fixture design, automated test implementation, and validation.
- Strong hands-on experience with firmware provisioning and validation for sensors and compute.
- Broad technical knowledge across systems integration, sensors (e.g., cameras, LiDAR, IMU), embedded compute platforms, and networking/provisioning.
- Excellent debugging skills across hardware, firmware, and system software.
- Strong data-driven mindset with experience in KPIs, statistical process control, and metrics reporting.
- Outstanding communication skills and experience working closely with contract manufacturers, operators, and cross-functional engineering teams.
- Comfortable being onsite full-time at a contract manufacturer and traveling as needed.
- Experience with robotics stacks (ROS or equivalent) and robotic sensor calibration/test.
- Familiarity with manufacturing automation tools, CI for embedded systems, and test frameworks (Python, pytest, LabVIEW, or similar).
- Experience with provisioning large fleets (device identity, secure image signing, automated configuration).
