• 5+ years of experience in test automation, system testing, validation, or verification of complex mechatronic or robotic systems
• Proven experience coordinating tasks, timelines, or small teams across cross-functional engineering groups.
• Strong understanding of robot arm fundamentals — kinematics, joint vs.
• Cartesian motion, reference frames, safety limits, and operator control software — plus broader mechatronic system integration (mechanical, electrical, control).
• Proficiency in Java
• Hands-on experience with Maven, Selenium, Cucumber (BDD), API testing, and Git.
• Solid experience with CI/CD, test reporting, and agile, cross-functional teams.
• Demonstrated ability to mentor others and drive process improvements.
