Role summary
Provides dedicated hands-on test execution for V6 validation inside SI&T, and creatively injects faults to surface failure modes that scripted P0 and automated/HIL suites miss. Runs high-volume test execution, stages benches, and captures high-fidelity data so engineers can focus on test design and development. May retain a facility-support component at Eccles depending on staffing.
Key responsibilities
- Execute hardware test plans from SI&T engineers across feasibility, various HW build phases, plus end-to-end system stress tests.
- Creatively inject faults into robot SW/HW to surface edge cases and failure modes beyond automated coverage.
- Diagnose robot and equipment failures at the component level using multimeters and oscilloscopes.
- Maintain meticulous data logging in Google Sheets and internal databases so engineering teams have accurate results for design iteration.
- Use and modify Python scripts to automate test sequences; support EOL and HIL test development; translate schematics into test setups.
Qualifications
- Associate/technical degree or equivalent hands-on experience with electro-mechanical or robotic systems.
- Hands-on hardware debug with multimeters and oscilloscopes; ability to read electrical schematics.
- Comfortable executing structured test plans and logging high-fidelity data.
- Basic Python and Linux CLI to run and tweak automated test sequences.
- Detail-oriented, dependable, and safety-conscious.
