Skills & highlights for this role
- Python
- C++
- CAN
- I2C
- oscilloscopes
Also useful
- Git
- Linux
- CAD test fixtures
What You'll Do
- Develop and maintain automated test frameworks that improve validation coverage and reduce manual testing effort across hardware, firmware, and software systems
- Build scalable hardware-in-the-loop and system-level validation environments that accurately represent real-world operating conditions
- Identify, reproduce, and help resolve complex multidisciplinary failures before they impact product milestones or deployments
- Maintain traceability between product requirements, test execution, and validation results across development programs
- Generate high-quality performance, reliability, and characterization data that informs engineering decisions and product readiness
What We're Looking For
- 3+ years of experience in test engineering, robotics, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, or a related engineering discipline
- Programming proficiency in Python, C++, or both
- Experience working with embedded systems, microcontrollers, and communication protocols such as CAN, SPI, I2C, or UART
- Hands-on experience using laboratory equipment including oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, multimeters, and power supplies
- Experience using version control systems such as Git in collaborative engineering environments
- Strong systems-thinking mindset with the ability to understand interactions across hardware, firmware, software, and robotics subsystems
- Excellent debugging and root-cause analysis skills grounded in data and experimentation
- Strong communication skills with the ability to clearly present technical findings to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
Nice to Have (But Not Required)
- Experience developing and maintaining automated test frameworks and validation infrastructure
- Experience with Linux-based development environments and real-time operating systems
- Familiarity with hardware-in-the-loop testing, robotic systems validation, or electromechanical product testing
- Experience designing test fixtures using CAD tools
Why This Role
- Your test infrastructure directly gates what ships - the confidence engineering teams have in the robot's performance runs through the systems you build
- Rare opportunity to work across hardware, firmware, and software on a single platform, with direct visibility into how issues get caught, root-caused, and fixed before they reach the field
- High ownership in a small team - you'll shape the validation methodology itself, not just execute a pre-defined test plan
About Rhoda AI
At Rhoda AI, we’re building the next generation of generalist intelligent robots. We own the full robotics stack from high-performance hardware and robot systems to the infrastructure and state-of-the-art foundation world models that control our robots.
Our robots are designed to be generalists capable of operating in complex, real-world environments and handling long-tail edge cases, made possible by our cutting edge research and end-to-end system design. We've raised over $450M and are investing aggressively in model research, infrastructure, hardware development, and manufacturing scale-up to make generalist robotics a reality.
We're looking for a Robotics Test Engineer to build the systems that validate the robot. You'll develop the infrastructure, automation, and processes that ensure the robot performs reliably across a wide range of operating conditions - working at the intersection of hardware, firmware, and software to create test systems that uncover issues early, provide actionable data, and accelerate development across the robotics stack.
