Join us to reimagine the future of human-robot interaction. Collaborative Robotics is a team of innovators and builders redefining the future of human-robot interaction. We are working to realize a world where robots are a trusted extension of your surroundings. They work, adapt, and react around you. Not the other way around. Are you excited by the challenge of validating a sophisticated robotic system across hardware and software boundaries? Do you enjoy designing rigorous test systems that push the limits of integration, reliability, and performance? We’re looking for a Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) to join our robotics team and ensure our robots perform flawlessly in the real world. In this role, you’ll build test infrastructure, develop system-level test plans, and lead validation efforts that span firmware, embedded control, high-level autonomy, and the mechanical system itself. This role is located at our Santa Clara, CA headquarters.

  • Design and implement test frameworks and infrastructure for validating complex robotic systems.
  • Develop automated test suites across software and hardware integration points.
  • Create system-level validation plans for robot behavior, performance, and reliability.
  • Investigate, debug, and triage hardware and software issues — from low-level interfaces to high-level autonomy stack.
  • Build and extend simulation-based and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test environments.
  • Collaborate closely with engineering teams across embedded software, perception, controls, and mechanical/electrical domains.
  • Contribute to internal tools for test automation, diagnostics, and log analysis.
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a related technical field.
  • 5+ years of experience in software and/or systems testing, ideally in robotics, hardware-focused automation, or embedded systems.
  • Proficiency in Python for test development and scripting or equivalent.
  • Experience validating systems that integrate software and electromechanical components.
  • Experience designing and running automated test pipelines (CI/CD).
  • Understanding of Linux-based development environments and common debugging tools.
  • Highly motivated teammate with excellent oral and written communication skills.
  • Enjoy working in a fast paced, collaborative and dynamic start-up environment as part of a small team.
  • Willing to occasionally travel.
  • Must have and maintain US work authorization.
  • Experience with simulation frameworks (e.g., Gazebo, Webots, Isaac Sim).
  • Familiarity with robot middleware such as ROS/ROS2.
  • Familiarity with hardware communication protocols (EtherCAT, CAN, SPI, I2C).
  • Demonstrated ability to work cross-functionally with engineering teams to drive root cause analysis and quality improvements.
  • Experience developing or maintaining telemetry/logging infrastructure for test analysis.
  • Exposure to safety-related testing practices or certification processes (e.g., fault injection, redundancy validation).
  • Equity and comprehensive benefits.
