# Test & Evaluation Lead

About Primordial Labs We're building the next generation interface for commanding autonomous systems in the real world. Our core product, Anura, translates spoken or typed intent into structured actions across drones, sensors, and mission software-enabling faster, more intuitive control in high-stakes environments. We’re a distributed team of engineers, operators, and technologists focused on deploying reliable autonomy at the tactical edge. The Mission Anura takes a spoken order and turns it into robot motion. Proving that it works, in software, in simulation, and on real vehicles in the field, is one of the hardest and most important problems we have. We’re looking for someone to own that proof, and to build much of it themselves. You’ll lead our quality assurance and physical test functions, and you’ll be hands-on with test development and infrastructure. You’ll build the automated test and evaluation capability that qualifies a build before it reaches a range, while setting the strategy, standards, and readiness criteria that tell us whether it’s ready. Much of our testing runs in simulation and hardware-in-the-loop environments, so you’ll design an approach that leans on them
