Robotics Software Testing Engineer

As a Robotic Software Testing Engineer you will be responsible for deploying, configuring, validating, and supporting software systems on ERIC Robotics robotic platforms during pilots and production rollouts.

This role bridges ML/robotics software teams and real-world deployments, ensuring that what is built in-house works reliably at customer sites.

This is not a pure development role it is a system-level deployment, debugging, and integration role.

Key Responsibilities

1. Software Deployment & Integration

• Deploy robotic software stacks including:
  
• Perception pipelines
  
• ROS / ROS2 nodes
  
• Dashboards and monitoring tools
  
• Configure software for:
  
• Different hardware variants
  
• Client-specific environments
  
• Perform on-site and remote deployments during:
  
• Pilots
  
• POCs
  
• Production rollouts
  

2. System Validation & Debugging

• Validate end-to-end system functionality:
  
• Sensor data flow
  
• ML inference outputs
  
• Latency and stability
  
• Debug issues related to:
  
• ROS topics/services
  
• Network connectivity
  
• Software crashes or performance drops
  
• Coordinate with ML and robotics teams to close deployment issues.
  
  

3. Operations & Support

• Act as the first line of technical support during deployments.
  
• Collect logs, metrics, and field feedback.
  
• Create deployment SOPs, checklists, and rollback plans.
  
• Train internal teams or clients (when required) on system usage.
  
  

Technical Skills (Must Have)

• Strong proficiency in Linux.
  
• Hands-on experience with ROS / ROS2.
  
• Good understanding of:
  
• Networking (IP, SSH, ports, firewalls)
  
• System logs and debugging
  
• Experience working with hardware-software integrated systems.
  
• Ability to troubleshoot under field conditions.
  
  

Good to Have

• Familiarity with:
  
• Docker / containers
  
• Edge devices (Jetson, industrial PCs)
  
• Python-based tooling
  
• Exposure to robotics, ML systems, or IoT deployments.
