We combine the principles of dynamic control and balance with sophisticated mechanical designs, cutting-edge electronics, and next-generation software for high-performance robots equipped with perception, navigation, and intelligence. Boston Dynamics has an extraordinary and fast-growing technical team of engineers and scientists who seamlessly combine advanced analytical thinking with bold engineering.\nThe Test Technician operates Logistics Robotics robots and runs software and hardware tests whose results our software, hardware, firmware, and SQA engineering teams use. This is a hands-on test execution role. At this level you also run feature testing independently and help train new team members.\nKey Responsibilities\nTest Execution\nRun multi-tier testing:\n Targeted feature (development) testing.\nIntegration testing on the main software branch.\nStructured release-candidate testing on a monthly SQA cycle.\nSupport hardware and firmware testing.\nDaily stability testing - Participate in multi-week rotations on daily stability testing, working with the developer on rotation.\n Performance testing - runs with defined pass criteria, such as cases per hour (CPH) and intervention rate.\nExecute and record test plans and results in TestRail during each run.\nPerform data collection runs and support field testing.\nRun recurring tests independently within 30 days, and SQA release and feature testing within 60 days.\nRobot Preparation & Operation\nStage and install software builds and configurations onto robots, and prepare robots for daily testing.\nBuild the daily dev PR build, following a documented Git workflow.\nMake minor on-robot hardware adjustments and configuration changes.\nAdjust equipment parameters and settings for specific tests.\nPrepare test runs, including occasional box handling.\nOperate robots safely, following site procedures for e-stops, keep-out zones, and radio communication.\nClean lidar and camera lenses.\nDefect Reporting & Documentation\nIdentify, reproduce, and document defects, anomalies, and performance deviations, following established procedures.\nEscalate unexpected robot behavior based on each test tier’s reporting criteria.\nReport test failures via Jira incidents that include the test case, expected versus observed behavior, video evidence, and logs.\nSupport SW and HW engineering triage with run-specific context when prompted.\nMaintain test status reports.\nReport blockers and infrastructure problems that impede testing operations.\nCommunication, Demonstrations & Training\nCommunicate test status and issues to software, hardware, firmware, SQA, and operations teams, including real-time updates to developers during test runs.\nSet up and operate robots for internal and external demonstrations, using known-good software on verified healthy robots.\nTrain new team members on test procedures, robot operation, and defect reporting.\nRequired Qualifications:\n2+ years of hands-on testing of software builds on robots, automation equipment, or other physical systems. Hardware testing experience counts when it includes software testing.\nExperience executing written test procedures and documenting results.\nDefect tracking and test case management tools, such as Jira, TestRail, Jama, or Xray.\nProficiency in Google Workspace or Microsoft Office.\nQuick to learn new user interfaces and tools.\nClear and timely written and verbal communication skills, particularly when filing bug reports or providing live feedback to developers.\nAbility to occasionally lift test boxes up to 50 lbs.\nComfortable with a mix of walking, sitting, and standing, on your feet about half the shift.\nPreferred Qualifications:\nCommand line use (Linux, Windows PowerShell, or macOS Terminal): navigating file systems, pulling logs, connecting over SSH.\nExperience testing finished products for defects and debugging failures.\nQuality systems such as CAPA (corrective and preventive action), FRACAS (failure reporting, analysis, and corrective action system), and 6S.\nTest methods: verification and validation (V&V); feature, integration, regression, and reliability testing; deterministic and stochastic (repeated-trial) testing; software-in-the-loop (SIL) and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing.\nExperience reviewing robot or machine logs and plotting data.\nExperience operating robots or automated equipment.\nValid driver's license, for occasional travel between company buildings.\nTravel & Transportation:\nReliable transportation is required for this position.\nPossible travel up to 10%, including field testing and travel between company buildings.\nWe offer a friendly and growth minded workplace that encourages work-life balance while chasing ambitious goals. Our highly collaborative atmosphere has its roots in academia mixed with an entrepreneurial mindset that creates a vibrant culture.\nWe are interested in every qualified candidate who is eligible to work in the United States. However, we are not able to sponsor visas for this position.\nBoston Dynamics will never ask you to divulge your personal financial or account information as part of its recruiting process.\nThe pay range for this position is between $33 to $39 hourly. Base pay will depend on multiple individualized factors including, but not limited to internal equity, job related knowledge, skills and experience. This range represents a good faith estimate of compensation at the time of posting.
