Robot Arm Software Test Engineer (human)

Your mission & challenges

Together, we are taking the step into a new era of robots. You will ensure our robot arm software is reliable, safe, and ready for real-world deployment — validating behavior from operator workflows through application services to motion outcomes.

Robot arm & system testing

• Test all functionalities of the robotic system – from graphical user to interface to motion commands, PLC communication interfaces or safety functions
• Support release and regression validation across versioned robot software, including localization and multi-environment testing.
• Work closely with robotics, firmware, application, and functional safety engineers to validate software components, safety-related behavior, and contribute to product stability and compliance.

Test automation & framework

• Develop and implement detailed Gherkin test cases and step definitions using Cucumber, Selenium, and Java for GUI and API testing.
• Build and maintain automated regression, smoke, and release test suites integrated into CI/CD pipelines (e.g. GitLab).
• Extend the test framework with reusable step definitions, page objects, test data management, and reporting.
• Execute automated and manual tests; analyze results to detect defects, regressions, localization issues, and performance bottlenecks.
• Log, track, and communicate issues clearly; maintain traceability between requirements and test cases.
• Create and maintain test documentation and user guides.
• Proactively identify opportunities to improve testing practices, coverage, and execution efficiency.

What we look forward to

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• 3–5+ years of experience in test automation, system testing, validation, or verification of complex systems; robotics or industrial automation experience preferred.
• Solid understanding of robot arm fundamentals — kinematics basics, joint vs Cartesian motion, reference frames, safety limits, and operator control software.
• Proficiency in Java; familiarity with Python or C++ is a plus.
• Hands-on experience with Maven, Selenium, Cucumber (BDD), API testing, and Git.
• Experience with CI/CD, test reporting, and agile, cross-functional teams.
• Fluency in English is required.
