Quality Assurance Tech I

Summary:
We are seeking a talented and highly motivated Quality Assurance Engineer (QAE) for a contract position. The ideal candidate has great communication skills, can remove roadblocks, is detail-oriented, and has a knack for breaking websites. QAEs regularly work with Developers, Product Managers, and other Quality Engineers to ensure the proper operation of the production environment. During the development cycle, QAEs identify use cases, create test cases, execute tests, and report results.
Job Description:

• The QAE test technician is responsible for conducting various tests on robotic systems to ensure product quality, performance and reliability. This role is critical to the development of the most advanced robotic fulfillment and sortation systems on earth.
• Testing the functionality and performance of an autonomous fleet of robots. Bots tested as an independent product as well as within it’s current use case which involves interacting with other robotic workcells or sortation products as part of an overall automated outbound dock solution.
• Robotic Workcell operation as an independent product being qualified as well as it’s interaction with the autonomous fleet. Recovering workcell from mechanical or sw faults.
• Ability to troubleshoot HW/SW/FW to identify failures and translate into well written defects. Ability to recover from failures and maintain a healthy test environment.
• Deploy, configure, and maintain autonomous robot fleets, robotic workcells, and related environments (SW, FW, HW updates) to align with changing test scenarios.
• Testing involves a combination of physical and virtual test environments, therefore expect physical activity (walking, bending, squatting for low profile bots, lifting, pushing). Tests may involve prepping test data virtually via SW tooling or physically via package sets, carts, obstacles, etc.
• Ability to run existing or contribute to automated testing. Examples include autonomous ‘gauntlet’ of obstacles or varying aisle width traversal tests which may include HW test fixtures to simulate actions.
• Clearly communicate regular status to QA Lead and/or Manager. Highlight risks or blockers in a timely fashion. Ability to think on your feet to quickly diagnose a situation and determine next steps. Excellent verbal and written communication is critical.
• Collect and analyze data and metrics during or after active testing (logs, dashboards, databases, other web tools) and document observations.
• Self-driven and motivated to learn and understand the complex systems being tested (environment configuration, test data creation, test execution, what we validate/where and why). Able to deal with ambiguity and switch gears/priorities quickly when products or features are early in the maturity cycle.

QUALIFICATIONS:

• BS in Computer Science or equivalent experience 2-4 years industry experience testing software (firmware, hardware desired)
• Experience with SQL is desired, but not required.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills are essential.
• Strong working in a Linux/Unix environment.
• Experience with QA process and Software Development Life Cycle.
