Gritt Robotics Testing Technician at Gritt responsible for executing test procedures and collecting data to validate robot readiness. The role involves hands-on work with both software and hardware in outdoor environments.
Responsibilities
We are looking for a Robotics Test Technician to run the tests that prove our robots are ready, across both the software and the physical machine. You will be hands-on during robot bring-up, executing test procedures, collecting data, and flagging anything that looks off. You will work alongside our engineers and learn how software and hardware fit together on a real system.
What you’ll get to work on
Execute test procedures during robot bring-up, following written test plans and acceptance criteria.
Run system test campaigns on heavy robots in our yard, across real weather, lighting, dust, and temperature.
Record test results accurately and consistently, including pass/fail outcomes, measurements, logs, and observations.
Set up, operate, and maintain mechanical and electrical test fixtures and instrumentation.
Run regression and characterization tests on prototypes and production hardware, including pick-and-place accuracy and cycle time checks.
Run tests across the panel SKUs and site conditions the robot must handle in production.
Flag failures and unexpected behavior quickly, with clear notes and data.
Follow safety procedures for testing large autonomous machines around people and equipment.
Keep test logs, data, and reports organized so results are traceable back to requirements.
