About the Role

We are looking for a Hardware Test Engineer to own the process of proving our hardware is ready to survive years on a job site. Your work will directly determine whether our hardware is trusted to hold up in the field.

Responsibilities

• Own test strategy end to end, translating design requirements into test plans across components, subassemblies, and the fully integrated robot.
• Run functional, environmental, and life-cycle testing (dust, heat, vibration, repeated cycling) to generate real numbers.
• Lead root-cause investigations on hardware failures, including teardowns and data analysis, working directly with the hardware team.
• Test across real-world conditions the robot must handle in production, from new hardware to changing site and weather conditions.
• Develop, document, and enforce safety procedures for testing heavy hardware around people and equipment.
• Produce clear, data-driven test reports and maintain traceability from requirements through to test execution and results.
• Investigate field incidents and feed structured findings back into the loop to prevent recurrence.

Requirements

• 3+ years testing hardware on real electromechanical or robotic systems.
• A rigorous, data-driven approach, including writing clear test plans and defining quantitative acceptance criteria.
• Sound safety judgment, with comfort working hands-on with heavy machinery outdoors and adherence to procedures.
• Comfortable taking ownership of tasks with light supervision, especially in ambiguous, ground-up environments.
• Excellent problem-solving skills.
• Legally authorized to work in the United States.
