Software Test Engineer - Robot Arm (human)

About the role

\n\nYour mission & challenges Together, we are taking the step into a new era of robots. You will ensure our robot arm software is reliable, safe, and ready for real-world deployment — validating behavior from operator workflows through application services to motion outcomes. Robot arm & system testing • Test all functionalities of the robotic system – from graphical user to interface to motion commands, PLC communication interfaces or safety functions • Support release and regression validation across versioned robot software, including localization and multi-environment testing. • Work closely with robotics, firmware, application, and functional safety engineers to validate software components, safety-related behavior, and contribute to product stability and compliance. Test automation & framework • Develop and implement detailed Gherkin test cases and step definitions using Cucumber, Selenium, and Java for GUI and API testing. • Build and maintain automated regression, smoke, and release test suites integrated into CI/CD pipelines (e.g. GitLab). • Extend the test framework with reusable step definitions, page objects, test data management, and reporting. • Execute automated and manual tests; analyze results to detect defects, regressions, localization issues, and performance bottlenecks. • Log, track, and communicate issues clearly; maintain traceability between requirements and test cases. • Create and maintain test documentation and user guides. • Proactively identify opportunities to improve testing practices, coverage, and execution efficiency. What we look forward to • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field. • 3–5+ years of experience in test automation, system testing, validation, or verification of complex systems; robotics or industrial automation experience preferred. • Solid understanding of robot arm fundamentals — kinematics basics, joint vs Cartesian motion, reference frames, safety limits, and operator control software. • Proficiency in Java; familiarity with Python or C++ is a plus. • Hands-on experience with Maven, Selenium, Cucumber (BDD), API testing, and Git. • Experience with CI/CD, test reporting, and agile, cross-functional teams. • Fluency in English is required.
