• Test Engineer - Robotics Software Stack

    Insight Global (Austin, TX)


    Job Description

    • Deep Integration Testing: Design and implement rigorous "white-box" and integration test plans for the entire robotics software stack, from low-level drivers to high-level application logic.

    • "Zero-Trust" Validation: Operate with a meticulous, "no assumptions" mindset, validating behaviors across all abstraction layers—verifying that middleware, APIs, and hardware perform exactly as specified.

    • CI/CD & HIL Automation: Build and manage the complete test automation infrastructure, integrating simulation environments (e.g., Gazebo) and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) test benches into CI/CD pipelines.

    • Electromechanical Triage: Act as the first line of defense in debugging complex failures on physical robots, leading the hands-on effort to identify the root cause, whether it's in software, firmware, or hardware.

    • Non-Deterministic Systems Validation: Develop statistical test methods, failure-injection scenarios, and key performance indicators (KPIs) to validate the safety and reliability of non-deterministic systems (e.g., AI/ML perception, path planning).

    • C++ Test Framework Development: Write clean, maintainable, and robust C++ code specifically for testing, creating unit tests, mock objects, and test harnesses for new and existing features.

    Skills and Requirements

    • Expert C++ Developer: Mastery of modern C++ (11/14/17+) and C++ test frameworks (e.g., GTest) with a "test-first" development mentality.

    • DevOps & Automation: Proven experience with CI/CD tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI), scripting (Python, Bash), and containerization (e.g., Docker).

    • Systems-Level Skepticism: A "bloodhound" personality for finding bugs. Meticulous attention to detail and a refusal to trust abstractions without verification.

    • Robotics & Hardware Integration: Demonstrable experience working with complex electromechanical systems: sensors, actuators, and communication buses (CAN, Ethernet, I2C).

    • Simulation & V&V: Proficiency with robotics simulation platforms and an understanding of formal Verification & Validation (V&V) methodologies. ●   Safety & AI: Experience in safety-critical industries (e.g., ISO 26262, DO-178C) or in testing AI/ML-based robotic systems is a significant advantage.
