About The Position

We are seeking a Systems Development Engineer to own the release lifecycle for Fauna Robotics software. You will be responsible for getting robot software from “merged” to “running reliably on customer and internal robots”: cutting releases, testing them on real hardware, publishing artifacts, and building the automated test infrastructure that makes this fast and safe. This role requires someone who is meticulous about quality, comfortable testing software on physical robots, and motivated to automate themselves out of repetitive manual work.

Requirements

• Experience with end-to-end ownership of major project deliverables
• 3+ years of non-internship professional systems engineering or systems development experience
• Experience writing automated tests and building test infrastructure
• Proficiency in Python or Bash for tooling and automation
• Comfort working in Linux and with containerized software (Docker)

Nice To Haves

• Experience testing software on physical hardware: robots, embedded devices, IoT, consumer electronics
• Experience building hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) or integration test infrastructure
• Experience with OTA update systems or fleet-staged rollout strategies for device software
• Familiarity with ROS2 or other robotics middleware

Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end release process: artifact cutting, integration testing on hardware, staged rollout to internal and external fleets, and post-release validation
• Manually test robot software on real robot hardware before releases ship
• Partner with robotics engineers to understand what “working correctly” means for each subsystem and translate that into testable criteria
• Design and implement automated test suites that progressively replace manual testing: regression tests, smoke tests, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) continuous integration
• Operate and maintain existing CI/CD pipelines and OTA delivery infrastructure; triage failures, unblock developers, improve reliability
• Define and enforce release quality gates: what must pass before software ships to customers
• Build release tooling and dashboards: release notes generation, artifact versioning, rollout status, rollback procedures

Benefits

• sign-on payments
• restricted stock units (RSUs)
• health insurance (medical, dental, vision, prescription, Basic Life & AD&D insurance and option for Supplemental life plans, EAP, Mental Health Support, Medical Advice Line, Flexible Spending Accounts, Adoption and Surrogacy Reimbursement coverage)
• 401(k) matching
• paid time off
• parental leave
