Lead Test Engineer

We’re looking for a Lead Systems Test Engineer to join the Avular Team!

At Avular, we build  physical mobile robots,  drones and driving robots from the ground up. We're looking for a systems-minded test lead who combines  hands-on testing of real, multidisciplinary hardware  with a push for systematic process improvement in a young, dynamic robotics environment. You're a technical, quality-driven professional who makes sure that everything we ship results in mature products and processes, and who can coach test engineers and the organisation around them to mature Avular's test engineering competence.

You can spread the importance of  system integration and system-level testing of physical robots , and know how to balance rigid processes with an agile young company. You'll work across disciplines such as mechanical, electronics, embedded, and manufacturing to align the development team on the integration and test process. As a Senior/Lead Systems Test Engineer, you'll focus on defining company-wide testing processes,  system- and hardware-level test strategies , and doing hands-on testing yourself when time permits.

You will contribute mainly to:

Defining project- and system-level test strategies for physical robotic products

Improving the test engineering way of working

Creating clear test plans and dedicated test cases for multidisciplinary hardware

Clarifying test requirements with engineers across disciplines

Executing and overseeing tests, test benches and their planning

Being thorough and detail-oriented in test execution and reporting

Making well-balanced, evidence-based release decisions on physical products

You have:

A Bachelor's or Master's degree in  Mechatronic, Mechanical or Electrical Systems Engineering

At least  8 years  of relevant  integration and testing experience of multidisciplinary (mechatronic) products  — not pure software test

Been responsible for delivering  complex mechatronic systems to market

Coordinated with regulatory compliance or external testing partners

Excellent proficiency in spoken and written English

As a testing professional, you have extensive experience with standard methods such as:

Requirement management and configuration management

System- and hardware-level test methods:
Environmental, HALT/HASS, integration, and user-validation testing

Analysing and quantifying  physical measurement data  and test results

Root cause analysis (8D, 5 Why, Ishikawa)

And as a hands-on technical engineer, you can define and work with test tooling through:

Measurement and sensor selection, data acquisition (DAQ) and processing

Building and maintaining  automated test benches and test rigs

Scripting for  test automation, DAQ and data analysis  (Bash, Python, MATLAB)

It would be a nice bonus if you have:

EMC testing experience

HIL and/or SIL testing experience

CE and FCC certification experience

Version control of test assets and scripts (Git)
