QA Engineer

About the role

Sunrise Robotics is looking for a QA Engineer to validate the software that runs its robotic cells and to accelerate the move from alpha to production. This role focuses on system‑level testing of physical robotic cells, not just UI checks.

Key responsibilities

• Validate the complete robotic system, including arms, cameras, safety systems, edge compute and perception.
• Define test plans, acceptance criteria and quality gates for software at alpha, beta and production stages.
• Coordinate engineers across software, robotics, perception, simulation and deployment to ensure clear handover.
• Document test results, risks and blockers and communicate them to all stakeholders.
• Design and implement CI pipelines, automated checks and process automation for validation.
• Reduce friction between development and deployment teams and improve QA processes as the fleet scales.

Required profile

• Strong experience in QA, test engineering or systems validation.
• Ability to think in systems that combine software, hardware, data and real‑world failure modes.
• High ownership, good judgement in ambiguous environments and strong written communication.
• Comfort working with physical products where bugs can have real‑world consequences.

Required skills

• Familiarity with ROS 2 and Isaac simulation tools.
• Strong knowledge of Linux.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and test automation tooling.
• Experience creating test plans, acceptance criteria and release gates.
• Experience validating software that interacts with hardware, robotics or physical devices.
