General Autonomy for Industrial Vehicles. Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
Polymath builds autonomy software for industrial off-road vehicles, such as wheel loaders, haul trucks, cranes and excavators, deployed at steel mills, mines and farms. Each vehicle is retrofitted with drive-by-wire, sensors and compute, so a build validated on one haul truck carries no guarantee on the next. Every vehicle has to pass the same acceptance tests as the first before it goes into customer operation. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 3+ years of hands-on test execution on physical robots or autonomous systems, such as mobile robots, AVs, industrial robots or drones
- Experience with long-duration reliability testing (MTBF, soak tests) and KPI tracking across builds
- Disciplined documentation habits, with defect reports engineers can act on without follow-up
- Comfortable with Linux and basic command-line tooling. Familiarity with ROS or rosbags is a plus
- Willing to hold firm on a defect when engineering pushes back, and to bring the data that settles it

We’re looking for a test specialist who has validated physical robots and takes pride in rigorous, repeatable execution. Our Applications Engineers write the test plans; you execute them on autonomous vehicles in the field, capture clean data, and report defects with enough precision that engineering can act on. When you find a faster or more reliable way to run the tests you own, through better checklists, quicker setup or cleaner data capture, you build it and make it standard.
- Execute defined test plans on autonomous vehicles, covering navigation, obstacle detection, e-stop, geofencing and teleop, across bringup, stabilization and handover.
- Run long-duration reliability and regression campaigns on each vehicle before customer release.
- Collect and organize test...
