About the role
You will run our robots every day and tell us what actually works. Every change to hardware, firmware, or a model is a change to how the robot behaves, and someone has to put it through its paces and keep an honest record of the result. This is a hands-on role. You will spend your days with real robots, running tests, watching them fail, and writing down exactly what happened. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Track record in QA or test for hardware, robotics, or embedded systems
- Rigor and consistency. You follow the same procedure every time, because otherwise the results mean nothing
- Strong written communication. A bug report is the product of this job
- Comfort with software basics: reading logs, running scripts, checking which build is on the robot
- Diagnostic curiosity. You are not satisfied with "it failed," you want to know under what conditions
- Comfort around robots and the judgment to work safely near moving hardware
