The role also supports the organization's growing focus on robotic product quality and system stability testing.  


What You'll Do 


Drive End-to-End System Verification 


  • Lead system-level verification and validation activities for robotic products. 
  • Develop and execute test strategies covering functionality, reliability, performance, robustness, and customer experience. 
  • Validate navigation, mapping, obstacle avoidance, docking, charging, cleaning performance, OTA software updates, connectivity, and ecosystem integrations. 
  • Execute laboratory, simulation, and real-world testing to ensure products perform reliably in diverse customer environments. 

Validate AI and Intelligent Product Features 


  • Test AI-powered capabilities including computer vision, object detection, hazard recognition, autonomous decision-making, voice control, and natural language interactions. 
  • Design validation methods for machine learning-based features and intelligent robotic behaviors. 
  • Evaluate AI performance, accuracy, robustness, and edge-case scenarios using structured test methodologies. 

Drive AI-Powered Test Innovation 


  • Design and deploy AI-powered test solutions to improve test coverage, execution efficiency, and defect detection. 
  • Leverage AI and machine learning technologies to accelerate test case generation, test data creation, log analysis, defect triaging, and quality insights. 
  • Develop intelligent testing approaches for robotic products, mobile applications, cloud services, and connected ecosystems. 
  • Evaluate emerging AI testing tools and technologies to improve engineering productivity and quality outcomes. 
  • Collaborate with software, data, and AI teams to build scalable, data-driven quality solutions and advanced test automation capabilities. 

Collaborate Across Engineering Teams 


  • Partner with software, electronics, systems, AI, cloud, mobile application, and product teams to identify risks early and improve product quality. 
  • Drive defect investigation, root cause analysis, and verification of corrective actions. 
  • Provide objective quality assessments and evidence-based recommendations for release readiness decisions. 

Advance Test Automation & Continuous Improvement 


  • Expand automation coverage through simulation, Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL), regression, endurance, and fault-injection testing. 
  • Improve test efficiency, repeatability, and scalability through innovative engineering solutions. 
  • Contribute to best practices, reusable test frameworks, and continuous quality improvement initiatives. 

 

What We're Looking For 


Essential Qualifications 


  • Degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Robotics, Mechatronics, or a related technical discipline. 
  • Strong experience in system testing, verification, validation, or quality engineering for complex products. 
  • Experience with robotics, embedded systems, IoT, connected products, or consumer electronics. 
  • Good understanding of system integration, defect management, and release-quality processes. 
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills. 
  • Ability to work effectively in cross-functional and global engineering environments.

 

Preferred Experience 


  • Robotic vacuum or autonomous mobile robot development and testing. 
  • SLAM, LiDAR, ToF sensors, computer vision, AI, or machine learning systems. 
  • Python, automation frameworks, simulation platforms, or Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) environments. 
  • Mobile applications, cloud ecosystems, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Matter, or smart-home technologies. 

Bonus Points If You Have 


  • Experience applying AI or Generative AI technologies to software testing and quality engineering. 
  • Experience with AI-assisted test automation, test generation, defect prediction, or quality analytics solutions. 
  • Familiarity with Large Language Models (LLMs), AI agents, or intelligent automation platforms. 
  • Experience developing scalable test frameworks using AI, machine learning, or data analytics technologies. 

 

Why Join Us? 


This is an opportunity to work at the forefront of Robotics, AI, and Intelligent Quality Engineering. 


You'll help shape the future of both robotic products and testing methodologies by combining advanced system verification with AI-powered test innovation.

Skills and AI tools this role asks for

AI AgentsAI AutomationComputer Vision

Questions you could be asked

  1. How do you decide when an AI agent can act on its own versus asking for approval first?
  2. Tell me about a workflow you automated with AI tools, end to end.
  3. Walk me through a computer vision problem you solved, from raw data to a deployed model.
  4. How would you decide a model or AI system is ready to ship?
  5. Tell me about a time a model underperformed in production. How did you find out, and what did you change?

Adapt your resume

  • List these exact terms on your resume: AI Agents, AI Automation, and Computer Vision. An applicant tracking system matches the wording, not the idea.
  • Attach one line of real, concrete experience to at least one of them — a tool named with nothing behind it rarely survives a human read.
  • Lead with what you built, trained or shipped — this role is judged on the AI system itself, not the tools around it.
