System Test Engineer, Robotics AI

Sanctuary is looking to hire a Systems Test Engineer. Working closely with our co-founder and CTO, Dr. Suzanne Gildert, and reporting to our Director of Software Engineering, you'll be driving a proprietary internal testing process critical to the evolution of the system's hardware and software aspects.

The Systems Test Engineer and testing process are an essential part of advancing the company's strategy toward mission success. The Systems Test Engineer will also handle the vital responsibilities of helping to construct, evolve, and accelerate the capabilities of a system designed to support human-like intelligence. You’ll gain a comprehensive understanding of our existing systems and component testing process and iterate to improve our testing performance and team growth.

The best Systems Test Engineer candidates have experience designing and running test programs for high-complexity network-connected technological systems. This includes systems comprising hardware, software, and AI/ML technologies, such as autonomous vehicles, drones, mobile robots, or high-performance space vehicles or aircraft. 

This is a vital role in the organization. Ultimately, you'll manage execution against our workflow testing process for all components throughout the entire robotic system, establish procedures for running those tests, automate as much as possible, and maximize scalable testing acceleration. Demonstrated experience in Systems Engineering disciplines would allow you to hit the ground running in this role.
