Robotic Engineer

Robotics Test Engineer

The Quality Assurance Engineer (QAE) will support the deployment, commissioning, and troubleshooting of advanced robotic technologies. This role will focus on a trailer-unloading robotic solution being integrated into Amazon sortation centers. The QAE will work closely with engineering teams to ensure the robots are operating as needed, troubleshoot hardware as it pops up (mechanical and electrical) and software issues, collect and analyze data, and support successful product onboarding and deployment efforts.

This position requires a hands-on individual with mechanical, electrical, or robotics aptitude who is comfortable working in operational environments and traveling to deployment sites throughout the Northeast region.

Key responsibilities include executing test plans and test cases developed by Global Engineering Test Engineers, operating, commissioning, and supporting testing of robotic systems in live sortation center environments, collecting, documenting, analyzing, and reporting testing results and system performance data, supporting debugging and troubleshooting activities alongside Engineering Leads and Test Engineers, performing basic mechanical and electrical maintenance activities, assisting with inventory management and tracking of spare parts and test equipment, monitoring system performance and identifying potential hardware, electrical, software, and integration issues, collaborating with Test Engineers, Engineering Managers, and site personnel to resolve technical challenges, interfacing with local Operations, Maintenance Engineering, Workplace Health & Safety, and other site stakeholders, following established safety procedures and testing protocols during deployment and validation activities, and supporting commissioning efforts for newly deployed robotic systems and assisting with technology onboarding into the product development lifecycle.

Required qualifications include 0-2 years of relevant technical experience, or 3+ years of hands-on technical experience without a degree, basic understanding of mechanical, electrical, robotics, or automation systems, ability to learn and operate complex robotic equipment, experience troubleshooting technical equipment and identifying root causes of issues, comfortable working in warehouse, distribution, or industrial environments, strong communication and documentation skills, and ability to work independently while collaborating with cross-functional teams.

Preferred qualifications include exposure to robotics, automation, mechatronics, or industrial equipment, familiarity with motor drivers, electrical wiring, control panels, sensors, batteries, and charging systems, experience supporting testing, quality assurance, commissioning, or field service activities, knowledge of data collection and reporting methodologies, and previous experience in logistics, warehouse automation, manufacturing, or engineering support environments.

Work environment includes primary deployment locations throughout the Northeast Coast region, including Massachusetts, Maryland, and Pennsylvania, initial training period of approximately 2-3 weeks, including hands-on shadowing with experienced team members, and frequent interaction with engineering, operations, maintenance, and safety teams in active fulfillment and sortation center environments.
