Hardware Test Engineer (Droid)

Join our team as a Hardware Test Engineer, where you will play a crucial role in the development and testing of our next-generation delivery droid and ground pickup stations. You will own the ground test strategy, design and build custom test fixtures, develop the electrical and instrumentation side of the test systems, and drive test campaigns from early prototype validation through production end-of-line testing. You will collaborate closely with mechanical, electrical, firmware, and manufacturing engineers, and may have the opportunity to travel to suppliers and manufacturing partners.

• Responsable de la stratégie de test au sol pour le droid et son interaction avec l'infrastructure de point de zippage.
• Conception, construction et déploiement de dispositifs de test mécaniques personnalisés et de bancs d'essai de durée de vie.
• Rédaction du logiciel d'automatisation qui les exécute - script Python, journalisation des données, surveillance de la santé en direct.
• BS or MS in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Robotics, or a related field, with 3+ years of hands-on experience delivering electromechanical hardware or test software
• A systems approach to problem solving: a knack for identifying whether a failure lives in mechanics, electronics, firmware, or their interaction, and diving deep into whichever domain the problem lives in
• The judgment to know when a test is telling you something real vs. when the fixture itself is the problem
• Comfort with the electrical side of test equipment - reading schematics, wiring up a fixture, debugging with a scope, selecting the right sensor for the job
• Real Python experience. You've written test automation, data processing scripts, or bench-top control software that other people relied on
• Demonstrated ability to design mechanical hardware in a CAD environment (we use Siemens NX)
• Strong fabrication and prototyping instincts - you're comfortable in a machine shop, with hand tools, and at a soldering station
• Experience with high-cycle mechanical life testing, environmental chambers, or accelerated life test design
• Firmware experience (C, C++, Rust) on microcontrollers driving test equipment
• Experience deploying test equipment to contract manufacturers and supporting production ramps
• PCB design experience for custom fixtures or breakout boards (Altium, KiCad)
• Prior work in drone, robotics, automotive, medical device, or consumer electronics NPI
