Role Outline Engineered Arts is looking for a QA tester to join the software team. You’ll be challenged with developing and supporting our deployment and testing processes for all the robots. The focus will be on improving and maintaining the high quality of our uniquely amazing humanoid robots through designing and implementing tests, debugging and QA metrics. Hardware is at the centre of everything we do and this role will involve the support of hardware monitoring and issue detection. You will see how the robots evolve and improve from batch to batch, experiencing and testing each and every one.
We need your help to make sure the quality of our software is wow too!
Consistently and systematically testing robot behaviours both independently and by coordinating, monitoring and analyzing the outcome of “user-testing” sessions
Get hands-on with evaluating and improving existing test suites, workflows and procedures, monitoring and auto-reporting tools (in support of both hardware and software), manual test procedures and practices
Define, improve and automate procedures for testing and commissioning of robots before they are delivered to customers
Support robots in the wild, monitoring issues and making changes to test plans accordingly
Be an advocate for best practices and work closely with the Software team to suggest, rapidly test, and implement any helpful process changes or new tools
Use of Ubuntu or other Linux-based operating system
Working with Python
Experience working with git and CI/CD to maintain code quality and effective release management
Interest in conversational experiences driven by robots and large language models
Experience with writing useful and efficient automated tests for software
Experience in testing web UIs
Agile methodologies
Experience with continuous deployment in cloud systems (particularly terraform)
Experience with testing distributed systems relying on third-party services
With 15 years of hardware and software development, our robots have been sold in over 30 countries worldwide with customers such as NASA, PwC, Cisco and many more. Our Ameca model which is well known and a social media viral success along with our ultra-realistic Mesmer range of animated figures continue to surprise and excite visitors at museums, theme parks, visitor attractions and trade shows as well as aid leading universities with AI and robotics research. We are also exploring how our humanoid robot technology can disrupt other robotics sectors such as the growing cobot sub-segment of the industrial robotics market.
Further to our hardware range we also offer our software for hardware SaaS solutions. Originally developed for our own robotic hardware through necessity as there are no off-the-shelf solutions, this software platform can be used to simplify the development and operation of 3rd party hardware, robotics or otherwise. Enabling full 3D sequence programming, high-level function programming, cloud connection, remote support services, application of hardware and software defined hardware as well as low level hardware control, sensor and audio interfaces and much more.
We are a team of dedicated engineers and creatives striving to develop the very best experiences for our customers. We explore and challenge the human perception of robots as well as the fear and discomfort and the excitement and joy life-like mechanical humanoids present.
