Company: OffWorld
Location: Pasadena
Posted on: October 31, 2024
Job Description:
Thanks for visiting our Career Page. Please review our open
positions and apply to the positions that match your
qualifications.OffWorld is a robotics startup working on developing
a mobile robotic workforce for heavy industrial jobs on Earth,
Moon, asteroids & Mars. OffWorld was founded by an experienced
engineering team drawing on decades of tackling formidable
engineering challenges at NASA, ESA, NOAA, Maxar Technologies,
CERN, Reaction Engines, SAFRAN, Surrey Satellites, and Cisco.
OffWorld's first challenge is developing and maturing a modular
robotic system for extreme environments on Earth. Our robots will
go deeper underground and farther on Earth than humans can,
eliminate the need for humans to work in life-threatening
environments in mining, construction, tunneling, and other
dangerous industries, and dramatically reduce the environmental
footprint and cost of operations in key economies on Earth and
beyond.We have designed a modular robotic architecture that focuses
on maximizing the commonality and reusability across components for
fast deployment and optimization. Our robotic systems combine
sensor information, cutting-edge classical/machine learning (ML)
algorithms and a robotics real-time system platform for control,
decision making, and execution.OffWorld is seeking a talented and
motivated Robotics Test & Integration Engineer to join a
fast-moving team working to create advanced robotic and space
systems. As a Robotics Test & Integration Engineer, you will be
responsible for developing and executing testing and integration
activities. These testing and integration activities span virtual
tests (e.g., simulation), subsystem and system testing of robotic
platforms at both testing facilities and field-deployed sites (open
pit and subterranean mines). You will work closely with
cross-functional teams, including robotics engineers, software
developers, and project managers, to ensure that testing,
integration, and overall development goals are met to the highest
standards.Responsibilities:
- Test Planning and Execution: Create detailed test plans, test
cases, and test scripts, ensuring adequate coverage of all robotic
system components and functionalities. Coordinate and execute
testing activities, including functional testing, regression
testing, performance testing, and stress testing.
- Test Automation: Identify opportunities for test automation and
develop automated test scripts using appropriate tools and
frameworks. Continuously improve the efficiency and effectiveness
of testing processes through automation.
- Test Reporting and Documentation: Analyze test results and
prepare comprehensive test reports, documenting any defects,
issues, or areas of improvement. Maintain detailed documentation of
test procedures, configurations, and test environments.
- Collaboration and Communication: Collaborate closely with
cross-functional teams, including robotics engineers, software
developers, mechanical engineers, and project managers, to
understand project requirements, resolve issues, and ensure
alignment between development and testing activities. Communicate
testing progress, risks, and recommendations to stakeholders.
- Continuous Improvement: Stay updated with the latest trends and
advancements in robotics testing methodologies, tools, and
technologies. Identify areas for process improvement, propose
innovative solutions, and drive the implementation of best
practices.As the ideal candidate you possess the following:
- Bachelor's or master's degree in computer science, robotics, or
software / electrical / mechanical engineering, or a related
field.
- 2+ years of engineering experience in (mobile and/or
manipulator) robotics, or similar
- 2+ years of hands-on testing of (mobile and/or manipulator)
robots
- Strong knowledge of robotic systems, sensors, perception, and
control algorithms across software, hardware, and integrated-system
development
- Proficient in programming languages commonly used in robotics,
such as C++, Python, or Java.
- Experience with ROS (Robot Operating System) or similar
robotics middleware.
- Experience with robotics simulation environments, such as ROS
Gazebo, and scenario-based regression testing
- Experience with Jira, Confluence, git, docker, and Linux
command-line operations and debugging.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with attention to
detail.
- Excellent communication and leadership abilities, with the
capability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional
teams.
- Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously and
prioritize tasks based on project goals and timelines.
- Ability to travel regionally and internationally approximately
15% of the time.
- Self-driven, passionate, and constantly pursuing knowledge and
excellence.In a nutshell, we offer the:
- Opportunity to sink your teeth into cutting-edge industrial
robotics problems
- Opportunity to contribute to the mission of transforming how we
mine on Earth today and how we will one day mine on the Moon,
asteroids & Mars
- Opportunity to work with a kind, brilliant and supportive
team
- Opportunity to join the OffWorld team if
- You are as crazy-excited about the mission as we are
