Systems Engineer, Systems Test

The Role

The Autonomous Factory Systems team builds software for autonomous factories, including robotics, perception, behaviors, planning, collision avoidance, high-level control, orchestration, and hardware abstraction. Lead the Systems Test division by building the test engineering team, owning test plan coverage, and directing simulation test environments.

What You’ll Do

• Build and lead the Systems Test division, hiring and growing test and simulation test engineers.
• Drive test plan coverage from early development through production release.
• Direct simulation testing for edge cases, off-nominal conditions, and manufacturing cell operation.
• Set test direction across hardware, robotics, machines, and orchestration software.
• Define test architecture, simulation methodology, engineering standards, and quality gates.
• Partner with hardware, robotics, and software integration teams to embed testability into system design.

What We’re Looking For

• B.S. in Systems Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related discipline.
• 10+ years of systems or test engineering experience with complex electromechanical or robotic systems.
• Experience building test strategies for integrated hardware and software systems.
• Experience directing simulation environments for system behavior, edge cases, and failure modes.
• Familiarity with robotics, industrial automation, or manufacturing cells.
• Technical leadership experience and excellent communication skills.

What Will Set You Apart

• Continuous integration and test pipelines for hardware-in-the-loop or simulation-in-the-loop systems.
• Functional safety, reliability engineering, or systems validation experience.
• Experience establishing a new engineering team or function.

Compensation

The target salary range is $240,000 - $299,000, with the actual range varying based on experience.
