QA / QC Engineer - Simulation (Universal Robots, Bangalore - India)

Our Purpose

TERADYNE, where experience meets innovation and driving excellence in every connection. We are fueled by creativity and diversity of thought and in our workforce. Our employees are supported to innovate and learn something new every day. We cultivate a culture of inclusion for all employees that respects their individual strengths, views, and experiences. We believe that our differences enable us to be a better team - one that makes better decisions, drives innovation and delivers better business results.

Universal Robots, part of Teradyne Robotics, is the world market leader in collaborative robots (cobots), making products that empower our customers and positively transform the way they work. Teradyne Robotics is a division of Teradyne and includes Universal Robots and Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR). Our global R&D organization of 200+ engineers builds the software and systems behind every cobot we ship.

Opportunity Overview

You will join a team of talented and passionate engineers developing, testing, and optimizing the software and systems that let us simulate our robot platforms and the environments they work in.

As a QA/QC Engineer on the Simulation team, you will own the quality of everything the team produces - simulation software and services, 3D assets, rendering output, and synthetic datasets. Engineers, ML teams, and customers rely on simulation to make real decisions about UR cobots and MiR mobile robots, so correctness and reliability are not optional.

This is a hands-on role combining test automation, quality engineering, and a sharp eye for detail. You will build test strategies and automated frameworks that cover application functionality, asset quality, rendering accuracy, and dataset integrity, and you will work closely with simulation engineers, dataset engineers, third-party asset vendors, and the wider R&D organization in Denmark and Bangalore.

Your responsibilities and tasks include:

• Define and own test strategies, test plans, and test cases for simulation software, tools, services, and web applications.
• Build and maintain automated test suites - functional, regression, integration, and performance - integrated into CI/CD pipelines.
• Develop automated quality checks for 3D assets, including geometry, real-world scale, pivots, materials, collision meshes, physics properties, and naming conventions.
• Validate synthetic datasets for label accuracy, annotation consistency, format compliance, and distribution coverage.
• Build image-based and visual regression tests for rendering and sensor simulation output.
• Verify that simulated robot behaviour matches expected results from real hardware and reference scenarios.
• Define acceptance criteria and quality benchmarks for deliveries from third-party asset vendors, and review their work against them.
• Log, triage, and track defects, and drive root-cause analysis together with engineering teams.
• Define and report quality metrics that give the team clear visibility of release readiness.
• Write clean, well-tested, and documented test code, and participate actively in code reviews.
• Continuously improve QA processes, tooling, and documentation across the team.
