Principal Software Engineer in Test - Exploratory Testing

We're looking for a Principal Software Engineer in Test to join our team and elevate our testing capabilities.

This isn't your typical QA role. We're seeking a skilled Python developer with a testing mindset who can architect and implement cutting-edge testing frameworks, drive performance testing initiatives, and create tools that empower our teams to deliver high-quality software faster. As a key player in our engineering organization, you'll be instrumental in setting up the infrastructure and tooling that will drive better testing processes.

In this role, you'll have the opportunity to work on complex robotics and control solutions, collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure top-notch software performance. If you're excited about the challenge of building and optimizing testing frameworks and thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment, we want to hear from you.

What you'll work on:

• Work with cross-functional teams to develop comprehensive and efficient test strategies for the different systems making up the product.
• Drive design, implementation and deployment of changes to improve systems and end-to-end automated and exploratory testing using SIL/HIL methodologies.
• Develop and execute automated and manual smoke, regression, functional, and acceptance tests.
• Report defects and investigate/debug failures.
• Identify trends in failures and implement countermeasures to prevent the recurrence of failures.
• Identify and implement continuous improvement initiatives to enhance the quality of our robotics systems.
• Model and foster a culture of collaboration and ownership while promoting a growth mindset.
• Occasionally travel to site installations to extend testing and support store activities

What we're looking for:

• Bachelors in Robotics, Computer or Electrical Engineering plus 10 years of professional experience OR Masters in Robotics, Computer or Electrical Engineering and 8 years of professional experience
• Prior experience in end-to-end design, development, and deployment of test systems
• Highly experienced in Python programming.
• Excellent debugging and problem-solving skills.
• Strong interest in learning new systems and technologies.
• Ability to design and execute through test strategies and plans based on requirements and functional designs
• Experience working with source control software and CI/CD environments like Jenkins.
• Experience working in robotics, fulfillment or industrial automated systems is a plus
