We’re redefining how robots are deployed. Our platform enables users to simulate, test, and optimize entire robotic systems in parallel. By removing the barriers that have kept advanced robotics out of reach for all but the largest players, we’re ushering in a new era of manufacturing—one where mass reshoring is not only viable, but inevitable.
As our platform expands from direct robot control toward a cloud-based system for simulation, optimization, and validation of factory workflows, validation becomes a critical engineering discipline. This role is responsible for ensuring that our products work reliably not only at the software level, but within the real-world workflows, environments, and integrations used by our customers.
Reporting to the VP of Engineering, this role leads the company’s validation strategy across robotics workflows, simulation systems, cloud infrastructure, and customer environments. This is a hands-on leadership role requiring both technical depth and strong team-building skills.
Key Responsibilities
Own end-to-end validation strategy
- Define validation practices across robotics workflows, simulation systems, cloud services, and customer environments
- Ensure the product behaves reliably in real-world industrial and automation scenarios
- Drive continuous improvement in validation coverage, tooling, and efficiency
Lead automation-heavy validation systems
- Expand automated validation integrated into CI systems and engineering workflows
- Balance automation with hands-on workflow validation and customer-environment testing
- Improve system-level validation across multi-component software environments
Partner closely with Engineering and Product Operations
- Work directly with Engineering teams to validate complex integrations and workflows
- Collaborate with Product Operations / Application Engineering to understand customer deployments and real-world usage
- Translate customer workflows into repeatable validation scenarios
Build and lead the Validation organization
- Lead and grow a team of Validation Engineers and SQA Engineers
- Mentor and develop engineers across both system-level validation and software quality practices
- Establish a culture of technical depth, ownership, and collaboration
- Operate as a player/coach, contributing directly to validation efforts where needed
