Test and Validation Engineer, Teleoperation
Your New Role and Team
Sanctuary AI–a multi award-winning LinkedIn Top Startup company- is looking to hire a Test and Validation Engineer for our Teleoperation Team. Reporting to the Teleoperation Lead, the Test and Validation Engineer will gain a comprehensive understanding and significant operational experience with our general purpose robots (GPR) and simulators (SIM).
Have you ever dreamt of feeling fully immersed in teleoperating a robot? Here’s your chance! The best Test and Validation Engineer candidates have experience designing and running test programs for high-complexity, network-connected, technological systems with a human in the loop. This includes systems such as autonomous vehicles, drones, mobile robots, subsea vehicles or high-performance space vehicles or aircraft.
Ultimately, you'll manage execution against our workflow testing process for teleoperation and telemetry components throughout the simulated and robotic system, establish procedures for running those tests, automate as much as possible, and maximize scalable testing acceleration.
Our Success Criteria
Achieve company-wide visibility as you work with leadership to continually push the boundaries of implementing, documenting, and maintaining testing solutions and lifecyclesExpand your experience as you develop a user-level understanding of advanced modern robotics and human-like intelligence systemsTap into your leadership skills as you document, communicate, and enforce testing policies, test results, methods, regimes, scenarios, and plans with the teamWork with cross-functional engineering teams to develop new tests, operations, processes, and methodologiesTest real-time and mission-critical software for teleoperation, telepresence, and telemetrySet up, pilot, and troubleshoot robot operations in simulated and real-world environmentsGenerate, Run, and Document tests to uncover functional gaps in the teleoperation, telepresence, telemetry, and data collectionKeep your knowledge updated in the state of the art teleoperations practices
Your Responsibilities
Testing the full teleoperation stack and individual components with a disciplined, meticulous, and thorough processDevelop processes to enhance testing of newly developed code for teleoperation, telemetry, and telepresenceEnsure that the tests have good coverage and that the edge cases are documented and knownPropose changes to the workings of algorithms or processes if possibleLearn to pilot the GPRs in SIM and Reality, while keeping the integrity of the hardware (motion capture/teleop rig and robot) in mindUpkeep of the teleop rigs (Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Force Feedback)Pilot the SIM and GPR for normal data collection and User Acceptance Testing (UAT) activities.Observe and note any improvements to: Ergonomics, Process, Control, Algorithms, Interfaces... anything regarding the piloting interface.
