About The Position

Wilder Systems builds robots that do precision work across aerospace manufacturing and MRO — drilling, fastening, sanding, and inspection — on systems deployed to factory floors and flight lines worldwide. As a Senior Software Test Engineer, you own the test strategy and automation for a system: how we prove it works before it ships and keep it working in the field. You define test requirements across components, build the automation that catches regressions, drive software-hardware failures to root cause, and mentor the test engineers around you — working across the robotics software and hardware teams on real hardware.

Requirements

A track record owning test strategy and automation for a system or product end-to-end.
Strong test automation in Python and/or C++ (or comparable).
Deep experience with both automated and manual testing of complex systems.
Hands-on debugging of software-hardware integration issues on real hardware.
Solid software fundamentals: version control, CI, scripting, and reading production code.
A track record setting test requirements and mentoring other test engineers.
US Citizen or Permanent Resident

Nice To Haves

Testing robotics, industrial automation, or other cyber-physical systems.
ROS 2 and robotics middleware.
Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test development.
Test frameworks and CI at scale (pytest, GoogleTest, Jenkins or GitHub Actions).
Authoring release notes or customer-facing change documentation.
Familiarity with the domains under test — perception, motion, calibration.

Responsibilities

Own the test strategy and requirements for a system, across its components.
Design and build the automated test framework and suites that catch regressions before they reach the field.
Define and run the manual and on-hardware tests automation can't cover, and troubleshoot software-hardware failures to root cause with the software and hardware teams.
Own the user-facing change documentation (release notes) for each release, in collaboration with the robotics software and hardware teams.
Set the quality bar, own test requirements across components, and mentor Test Engineer I and II through test design and review.
