TL;DR
Staff Test Engineer (Actuation) (Robotics/Python): Designing and validating custom actuator test processes for a humanoid robot, from hardware bringup and calibration through design verification and production handoff with an accent on electromechanical characterization, automation, and system identification. Focus on building scalable Python test infrastructure, diagnosing cross-stack hardware issues, and transferring validated test methods into manufacturing operations.
Location: Austin, TX, United States
Company
develops AI-powered humanoid robots, including Apollo, for manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, home, and other applications.
What you will do
- Lead actuator hardware bringup, firmware deployment, motor and encoder calibration, and functional verification.
- Plan and execute mechanical, electrical, and system-level actuator design validation campaigns.
- Design production test methods, scripts, post-processing, pass/fail criteria, and operator documentation for NPI handoff.
- Build Python-based test automation, data pipelines, and analysis tools for repeatable validation across actuator types and hardware revisions.
- Operate dynamometers, benchtop equipment, and custom test setups across actuator and gearbox variants.
- Perform cross-disciplinary root-cause analysis and system identification, communicating failure modes and recommendations to engineering and program leadership.
Requirements
- Hands-on experience testing and characterizing actuators, motors, or gearboxes, including dynamometer or motor test stand operation.
- Experience with motor bringup and calibration, plus sufficient firmware and electrical knowledge to diagnose calibration and drive faults.
- Strong debugging skills across mechanical, electrical, and firmware domains.
- Production-grade Python experience for test automation, data analysis, and post-processing.
- Experience designing test methods, pass/fail criteria, and handoff documentation.
- Relevant degree or equivalent hands-on experience, with 6 years of experience with a BS, 4 years with an MS, or 2 years with a PhD; staff-level technical leadership and mentoring experience.
Nice to have
- Experience with humanoid or legged robot actuator systems.
- Thermal modeling, motor drive electronics, power electronics, or power stage design experience.
- System identification, frequency-domain analysis, bandwidth measurement, or dynamic model extraction experience.
- Experience transitioning R&D test methods into production or manufacturing environments.
- Simulation experience with MuJoCo, Isaac Sim/Lab, or similar tools, plus Docker or infrastructure tooling.
Culture & Benefits
- Direct-hire employment with a multidisciplinary robotics engineering team.
- Work spans mechanical, electrical, firmware, controls, and software engineering.
- Hands-on work supports the validation, commercialization, and mass production of Apollo.
- Physical requirements include prolonged computer work and occasional lifting of up to 15 pounds.
