Senior Test Engineer, End-of-Line (EOL)

Nimble Robotics•San Francisco, CA

13d•$140,000 - $180,000

About The Position

You will be the key development owner for the robot's End-of-Line (EOL) Test system, focusing on maximizing manufacturing throughput and assuring the quality of the final, fully integrated robot. This role is centered on enhancing the automated EOL testing framework and developing advanced kinematic and performance validation tests for the robot's motion and system functions.

Requirements

BS or MS in Computer Science, Robotics, Mechatronics or a related engineering field.
3+ years of experience in test automation development, with a focus on robotics or integrated electro-mechanical systems in a production environment.
Strong programming skills in Python or Rust for developing automated test scripts and analysis tools. Familiarity with industrial control or robotic middleware (e.g., ROS/ROS2, custom control frameworks).
Proven ability to work with and analyze high-speed sensor data (e.g., torque, force, encoder readings) to assess performance and diagnose system-level issues.
Experience in developing or working with automated functional test stations and knowledge of kinematic calibration techniques.

Responsibilities

Automated Framework Ownership: Own the development and optimization of the Robot Calibration Service, focusing on efficiency and test cycle time reduction.
Test Case Implementation: Implement new automated system-level functionality tests for all major robot components (Arm, Mobility, Carriage, Compute), covering module functionality to robot action cycle tests.
High-Speed Data Analysis: Develop judgement logic to process and analyze telemetry data to generate objective PASS/FAIL criteria and comprehensive reports.
Kinematic and Accuracy Testing: Develop and maintain the software for external fixture-based testing and kinematic checks using metrology tools like laser trackers.
Factory SW Deployment Integrity: Manage and refine the factory software deployment process.
