Our modular, multi-trade platform combines purpose-built hardware with real-time site intelligence to navigate complex environments and execute tasks with precision. Trained in high-fidelity simulation and already deployed on live sites, our robots deliver faster execution, stronger project economics and meaningful cost savings. Join India's talent-dense robotics team, with colleagues from IITs, Stanford, UCLA and other leading institutions.\nAbout the role\nAs a Mechanical QA Tester, you will carry out mechanical inspection and validation testing on robot components, sub-assemblies and complete robots. You will follow test plans and procedures written by the Mechanical QA Engineer, take accurate measurements, run durability and environmental tests, and report every failure clearly. Your work helps make sure each robot can survive demanding construction-site use. You will report to the Mechanical QA Engineer and work closely with the mechanical design, manufacturing and assembly teams.\nKey responsibilities\nRun validation tests\nRun structural, endurance, vibration, shock, ingress (dust and water), thermal and abuse tests by following the written procedure step by step.\nSet up test fixtures, rigs and sensors, and mount robots or assemblies on them safely before each run.\nMonitor tests while they run, record cycle counts, readings and observations, and stop the test if a safety or damage limit is reached.\nRun automated test-rig sequences from a laptop or HMI using written steps.\nInspect parts and assemblies\nMeasure parts with vernier calipers, micrometers, height gauges, dial indicators, feeler gauges and other inspection tools.\nCheck dimensions, fitment, alignment and surface condition against drawings and inspection checklists.\nVerify fastener torque with torque wrenches, and check welds, paint or coating, and sealing.\nSupport incoming, in-process and end-of-line quality checks on the shop floor.\nRecord all measurements on inspection sheets and mark out-of-tolerance values.\nReport failures\nLog each failure or non-conformance in the test management tool with the test ID, part or unit serial number, observed result, expected result, measurements and photos or video.\nFlag safety issues and blocking failures to the QA lead immediately.\nKeep failed parts tagged and set aside for root-cause analysis.\nRetest units after fixes and close the related reports.\nGeneral\nFollow PPE, lifting, lockout and machine safety rules at all times, especially around heavy robots and moving mechanisms.\nKeep inspection tools, fixtures and the test area organised, clean and in calibration.\nSuggest clearer test steps or better fixtures when a procedure is confusing, slow or out of date.\nRequirements\nQualifications\nDiploma or ITI in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Production, Automobile or Mechatronics. A B.E./B.Tech in these fields is also welcome.\n1-3 years of experience in mechanical inspection, testing, assembly, maintenance or QA. Freshers with hands-on workshop or project experience are encouraged to apply.\nAble to read engineering drawings, including dimensions, tolerances and basic GD&T symbols.\nBasic understanding of materials, fasteners, welding and common machining processes.\nComfortable working on a computer. No programming background is needed.\nSkills required\nTechnical\nUsing vernier calipers, micrometers, height gauges, dial indicators and feeler gauges accurately.\nUsing torque wrenches and common hand and power tools safely.\nSpotting common mechanical defects: loose or missing fasteners, cracks, weld defects, misalignment, wear, deformation, leaks and burrs.\nSafe handling of heavy parts with lifting equipment such as hoists, pallet jacks and slings.\nRunning test-rig software or scripts from written steps.\nBasic computer skills: file handling, spreadsheets (Excel or Google Sheets) and email.\nSoft skills\nAttention to detail and patience with long, repeated tests.\nFollows written procedures exactly and asks when something is unclear.\nClear, factual written reports, backed by photos and measurements.\nGood English communication. Kannada or Hindi is helpful on the shop floor.\nWorks well with design, manufacturing and assembly teams.\nGood to have\nExposure to robotics, automotive, off-highway, industrial machinery or other rugged equipment.\nExperience with vibration, environmental or endurance test equipment.\nFamiliarity with CMM, profile projectors or other advanced metrology.\nBasic knowledge of quality tools such as 5 Why, inspection plans or first-article inspection.\nPrior use of a bug or test tracking tool.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4739,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"Upper-Intermediate (B2)","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-06T06:30:28Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":3,"expected_fill_days":33,"reasons":["conf:0","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-10T05:45:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/origin-mechanical-qa-tester","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/origin-mechanical-qa-tester.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-11T21:48:12Z","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":10979,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-12T00:00:00Z"}},"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":686527},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=686527"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Forigin-mechanical-qa-tester"},{"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%2Forigin-mechanical-qa-tester"},{"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%2Forigin-mechanical-qa-tester"},{"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/origin-mechanical-qa-tester\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Forigin-mechanical-qa-tester"}]}
