Role Overview

We are seeking a Senior DevOps Automation Engineer with a strong background in robotics to join our team. The ideal candidate will have experience in automating tests and CI/CD pipelines specifically for robotic systems. This role involves intertwining development processes into workflows, testing and analyzing code, and implementing automation where applicable.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain automated test frameworks specifically tailored to evaluate the performance of robotic systems.
• Maintain and optimize CI/CD pipelines, focusing on the unique requirements of robotic software and hardware integration.
• Define and implement key performance metrics for robotic localization, such as accuracy, reliability, and resilience to outliers.
• Develop testing strategies for robotic perception systems, including metrics for obstacle detection and tracking accuracy.
• Create test plans for robotic navigation, focusing on path tracking accuracy, oscillation detection during movement, and overall system efficiency.
• Establish decision-making metrics to assess the efficiency and reliability of robotic decision processes.
• Collaborate with robotics engineers to integrate these metrics into the overall development and testing cycle.
• Analyze test results and provide insightful feedback to guide improvements in robot performance and reliability.
• Stay updated with the latest advancements in robotics and automation testing methodologies.

Requirements

• Proven experience in test automation and CI/CD pipeline development, preferably in a robotics context.
• Experience with CI/CD tools like (e.g. Jenkins) and scripting languages (Python, Java).
• Experience in version control (e.g git), docker.
• Familiarity with orchestrating containerized applications using Kubernetes.
• Experience in building deployment pipeline preferably in a robotics context.
• Strong understanding of security principles and best practices, and the ability to provide thought leadership, alongside deploying these ideas and driving adoption.
