Quality Assurance Engineer II - Robotics

Description

About Us

We are committed to our core value of Empathy. Our mission is to automate “demanding,” “dirty,” and “dangerous” jobs so that people can engage in more intellectual and creative work. We achieve this by developing and supporting the implementation and operation of robotics platforms and robot solutions that leverage the world’s most advanced control and coordination technologies.

Role Overview

Join our Tokyo Engineering team as we develop state-of-the-art robotics solutions for some of Japan’s premier enterprise customers. Leveraging our cloud robotics platform, rapyuta.io, and an expanding ecosystem, our mission is to pioneer scalable, collaborative, and flexible robotics solutions. 

In this role, you can test real robots in physical environments, test virtual robots in simulated environments, automate API tests, and automate systems-level testing. The ideal candidate is hands-on and eager to work with cutting-edge robotics technology. 

Key Responsibilities 

• Test Planning & Execution: 

• Review and analyze system specifications to define test cases. 

• Create and maintain test plans. 

• Execute test plans in both simulated environments and on actual hardware. 

• Track defects, generate bug reports, and compile test reports. 

• Process & Collaboration: 

• Participate in implementing and improving QA processes and best practices. 

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure quality standards are met. 

• Automation & Tools: 

• Implement test automation for robotics systems. 

• Develop and maintain automated software tests for APIs and other system components.

Requirements

Minimum Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience in software Quality Assurance as an individual contributor. 
• Bachelor’s degree in engineering or equivalent combination of education and experience. 
• Proven experience creating, maintaining, and executing manual and automated test cases. 
• Hands-on experience testing software that interacts with hardware, especially robotics. 
• Familiarity with testing frameworks in Python/C++ (e.g., Pytest). 
• Expertise in Linux ecosystems. 
• Advanced knowledge of testing methodologies (black-box, white-box, regression, BDD/TDD). 
• Working knowledge of Agile principles (e.g., SCRUM). 
• Experience with HTTP API testing. 

Preferred Qualifications

• Knowledge of HWIL, simulations, and ROS. 
• Basic understanding of embedded systems and electronics. 
• Experience with robotics or hardware product QA. 
• Familiarity with frameworks such as TestNG, JUnit, Pytest, Playwright, Selenium, or similar tools. 
• ISTQB certification. 
• Japanese language proficiency. 
• Experience with version control systems (e.g., Git) and CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, CircleCI).
