Sanctuary AI–a multi award-winning LinkedIn Top Startup company- is looking to hire a Test and Validation Engineer for our Teleoperation Team. Reporting to the Teleoperation Lead, the Test and Validation Engineer will gain a comprehensive understanding and significant operational experience with our general purpose robots (GPR) and simulators (SIM). Have you ever dreamt of feeling fully immersed in teleoperating a robot? Here’s your chance! The best Test and Validation Engineer candidates have experience designing and running test programs for high-complexity, network-connected, technological systems with a human in the loop. This includes systems such as autonomous vehicles, drones, mobile robots, subsea vehicles or high-performance space vehicles or aircraft. Ultimately, you'll manage execution against our workflow testing process for teleoperation and telemetry components throughout the simulated and robotic system, establish procedures for running those tests, automate as much as possible, and maximize scalable testing acceleration. Our Success Criteria Achieve company-wide visibility as you work with leadership to continually push the boundaries of implementing, documenting, and maintaining testing solutions and lifecycles Expand your experience as you develop a user-level understanding of advanced modern robotics and human-like intelligence systems Tap into your leadership skills as you document, communicate, and enforce testing policies, test results, methods, regimes, scenarios, and plans with the team Work with cross-functional engineering teams to develop new tests, operations, processes, and methodologies Test real-time and mission-critical software for teleoperation, telepresence, and telemetry Set up, pilot, and troubleshoot robot operations in simulated and real-world environments Generate, Run, and Document tests to uncover functional gaps in the teleoperation, telepresence, telemetry, and data collection Keep your knowledge updated in the state of the art teleoperations practices Your Responsibilities Testing the full teleoperation stack and individual components with a disciplined, meticulous, and thorough process Develop processes to enhance testing of newly developed code for teleoperation, telemetry, and telepresence Ensure that the tests have good coverage and that the edge cases are documented and known Propose changes to the workings of algorithms or processes if possible Learn to pilot the GPRs in SIM and Reality, while keeping the integrity of the hardware (motion capture/teleop rig and robot) in mind Upkeep of the teleop rigs (Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Force Feedback) Pilot the SIM and GPR for normal data collection and User Acceptance Testing (UAT) activities. Observe and note any improvements to: Ergonomics, Process, Control, Algorithms, Interfaces... anything regarding the piloting interface.
