This is a hands-on role focused on ensuring our robots are ready for deployment in demanding, production environments.

Responsibilities

- Operate humanoid robots to execute functional, stress, and edge-case tests
- Design and run tests covering mechanical, electrical, software, and AI behavior
- Validate robot performance, safety, and reliability in lab and field environments
- Document test procedures, results, failures, and observed behavior
- Collect and analyze logs, telemetry, video, and AI outputs
- Report clear, actionable findings to hardware, software, and AI engineers
- Verify fixes and improvements through repeatable regression testing
Requirements

- 3+ years of experience in robotics testing, systems testing, or hands-on technical roles
- Experience operating complex hardware or robotic systems
- Ability to design structured tests and clearly document results
- Familiarity with testing or debugging hardware, software, and AI-driven systems
- Comfortable working with logs, data, and basic analysis tools
- Strong attention to detail and clear written communication
- Ability to work effectively in fast-paced, real-world environments
Nice to Have

- Experience with humanoid, legged, or autonomous robots
- Exposure to AI or autonomy testing (perception, planning, control, or decision-making)
- Background in mechanical, electrical, or software engineering
- Field testing or deployment experience in industrial environments
- To apply, submit your resume here or email people@noblemachines.ai. We encourage candidates to include examples of hands-on testing, system validation, or field work demonstrating experience with complex robotic systems.
