Fox Robotics is at the bleeding edge of warehouse automation, with a focus on autonomous forklifts. As the leader in this space, Fox has clear product market fit and is scaling fast. With this growth, employees have a once-in-a-career opportunity to learn, all while working as part of a mission-driven team focused on making robots that work.
Your primary mission is to rigorously test the FoxBot product, with a specific focus on autonomy. This is a significant opportunity to have an impact from day 1.
What you’ll do:
- Collaborate with the autonomy team to verify system capabilities against product requirements and performance benchmarks.
- Identify, design, and execute both real and simulated test suites.
- Automate simulation test execution and reporting.
- Communicate findings to stakeholders across the company.
- Burn down reported issues from the field, analyze logs and identify root causes.
- Investigate, debug, and troubleshoot issues related to product performance.
- Work with cross-functional engineering teams to establish permanent corrective actions across hardware and software.
- Understand autonomy software changes and proactively design tests and update simulation tools to properly evaluate the changes.
- Use simulation tools to predict product performance across a variety of operating environments.
- Work with cross-functional teams of engineers, developers, and project managers to ensure that testing, integration, and overall development goals are met on time and to the highest standards.
- Ability to travel and solve hard problems at customer locations.
What you’ll need:
- Demonstrated ability to test complex systems
- Experience with general purpose programming environments, languages and scripting systems, Linux, git
- BS / MS in computer science, robotics, engineering or equivalent work experience
- Fluent in C++ and Python
- Experience with Docker, CI/CD pipelines, and automated testing
- Clear communication skills
- History of taking personal ownership of complex problem solving
Nice to have:
- Startup experience at companies that are scaling fast; an ability to build the robot as they ship it, as we say
- Robotics autonomy experience a plus
- Familiarity with robotics or embedded systems
- Knowledge of software quality and testing principles
- Knowledge of any Test management tool like Jama, Jira with Zephyr
- Experience with functional testing, regression testing, performance testing, and stress testing
- Experience with modern test tooling such as:
- Cloud web services like databases, compute orchestration, etc.
- Analytics platforms like Tableau
- Data visualization tools like Foxglove
- Ability to navigate a large codebase and Bazel build system
Benefits and perks:
- A once in a career opportunity to build, alongside colleagues who deeply care (plus robots that aren’t bad, either!)
