Robotics Software Test Engineer

Robotics Software Test EngineerAt Rhoda AI, we're building the next generation of generalist intelligent robots. We own the full robotics stack from high-performance hardware and robot systems to the infrastructure and state-of-the-art foundation world models that control our robots. Our robots are designed to be generalists capable of operating in complex, real-world environments and handling long-tail edge cases, made possible by our cutting edge research and end-to-end system design. We've raised over $450M and are investing aggressively in model research, infrastructure, hardware development, and manufacturing scale-up to make generalist robotics a reality.We're looking for a Robotics Software Test Engineer to design and build the test infrastructure that ensures our robot software stack is reliable, regression-free, and ready to ship.What You'll DoDesign and implement automated test plans, test cases, and test fixtures across the full robotic software stackArchitect and build test infrastructure across all testing layers — spanning unit tests, component integration tests, system-level tests, and hardware-in-the-loop validationStrengthen and extend CI/CD pipelines to catch regressions early and gate releasesDefine quality metrics and KPIs; track test coverage, failure trends, and release readiness to give the team clear signal on product healthParticipate in design and code reviews with a focus on observability, testability, and reliabilityWhat We're Looking ForProficiency in Python and C++Strong knowledge of software engineering best practices and design patternsExperience designing and building test infrastructureHands-on experience with CI/CD systemsSolid understanding of software testing methodologies across multiple layersExperience with Linux-based development and production environmentsSelf-starter mentality — comfortable with ambiguity, able to prioritize independently, and willing to jump in wherever neededEffective communication skills; able to work cross-functionally in a small, fast-moving teamNice to Have (But Not Required)Experience with Docker and containerized environmentsExperience with Bazel or similar build systemsFamiliarity with perception systemsKnowledge of industrial communication protocols (EtherCAT, Modbus, gRPC, etc.)Understanding of networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, DNS, firewalls) and security best practices for embedded IoT devicesExperience contributing to product design processesWhy This RoleOwn the quality bar for a humanoid robot software stack — your test infrastructure is the last line of defense before code runs on real hardware in the real worldBuild foundational QA systems from the ground up at a critical moment in the company's development, with direct influence over how the engineering team shipsWork at the intersection of software reliability and physical robotics, where a missed regression isn't just a bug — it has consequences in the physical world
