Robotics Test QA Technician
About The Position
Rovex is a robotics company in Gainesville, FL building autonomous mobile robots designed to support hospital operations and improve the way healthcare teams move people, materials, and resources throughout their facilities. Rovex is looking for a meticulous, reliable, and technically curious Robotics Test QA Technician to help us test and improve Rovi, our robotic platform. In this role, you will be responsible for hands-on testing and validation of Rovi across a wide range of scenarios and operating conditions. You will operate Rovi, execute structured test plans, repeat tests to validate performance and reliability, and carefully document results and unexpected behaviors. Your work will directly support our engineering team by increasing the amount of real-world testing we can perform, identifying issues earlier, and helping us iterate faster as we build more capable and reliable robotic systems. This is a hands-on technical role, but you do not need to be an engineer. We are looking for someone who enjoys technology, is comfortable working with hardware and software, follows procedures carefully, and has the patience and attention to detail required to test complex robotic systems consistently.
