In this role, you make sure every software release that reaches the NEURA Gym works. You execute software and release tests based on the defined test strategy and report clear, reliable results to the release owners. With a strong understanding of the overall system, you connect software, robot hardware, sensors and data recording, and you run hands-on tests directly on our robots and recording setups.\nWhat you will do\nExecute tests according to the defined test strategy for software running in the NEURA Gym: robot software, data recording tools, teleoperation and data pipelines\n\nPlan and run release tests, regression tests and acceptance tests, and report results as input for the release decision\n\nRun hands-on system and integration tests on robots, sensors and recording stations - including hardware-in-the-loop setups\n\nVerify that recorded training data meets quality requirements (completeness, synchronization, labelling, metadata)\n\nBuild and extend automated tests and integrate them into CI/CD pipelines\n\nAnalyse failures across the full stack, reproduce issues and work with developers on root causes\n\nDesign and implement new test cases to continuously improve our testing pipeline\n\nDocument test cases, results and known issues, and track defects through to resolution\n\nWork closely with software development, robotics, AI/data teams and Gym operations, and suggest improvements to test cases and processes\n\nWhat we look forward to\nBachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field\n\n4+ years of professional experience in software testing, test automation, release management or software engineering in test, ideally on robotics, simulation, or other complex distributed systems\n\nStrong software engineering fundamentals and proven experience building automated test systems\n\nStrong programming skills in at least one of the following languages: Python, C++, Rust or TypeScript\n\nStrong system understanding: you know how software, hardware, sensors and networks interact and can debug across these boundaries\n\nDeep understanding of testing methodologies (unit, integration, system, regression, end-to-end)\n\nHands-on experience with test automation frameworks (e.g. pytest, BDD)\n\nExperience with CI/CD pipelines, Git, Ansible, and Linux-based development environments\n\nFamiliarity with ROS/ROS2, DDS, Zenoh and robotics software architecture\n\nExcellent analytical and debugging skills combined with systems-level thinking\n\nAbility to work in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment alongside software, robotics, and AI teams\n\nNice to have\nUnderstanding of robotics fundamentals: kinematics, dynamics, sensors (cameras, LiDAR, IMU, force/torque), and motion control\n\nWorking knowledge of C++, e.g. to read, debug, and test performance-critical simulation or ROS2 components\n\nExtensive knowledge of modern network topologies and design principles\n\nExperience with Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing\n\nExperience with cloud-based test infrastructure, containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and large-scale distributed validation\n\nFamiliarity with industrial and robotics communication protocols (e.g. EtherCAT, CAN, Modbus)\n\nWhat we offer\nA key role at the interface of robotics, software and AI - your work directly shapes the quality of the data our robots learn from\n\nHands-on work with state-of-the-art cognitive robots every day\n\nA fast-growing, international team with short decision paths\n\nRoom to contribute your ideas to our test and release processes robotic systems","description_format":"text","description_chars":3744,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":4,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Robotics AI","Collaborative Robots (Cobots)","Humanoid Robots"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-13T09:09:52Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":13,"expected_fill_days":84,"reasons":["conf:3","velocity","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-26T05:57:25Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/neura-robotics-software-test-engineer-neuragym-2","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/neura-robotics-software-test-engineer-neuragym-2.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-26T07:17:46Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":9745,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-27T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":48149},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=48149"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fneura-robotics-software-test-engineer-neuragym-2"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fneura-robotics-software-test-engineer-neuragym-2"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fneura-robotics-software-test-engineer-neuragym-2"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/neura-robotics-software-test-engineer-neuragym-2\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fneura-robotics-software-test-engineer-neuragym-2"}]}
