Robotics Field Test Engineer

**Company Overview** The world is moving towards an autonomous future where sooner or later everything that is driven, pushed or pulled today, will be moving by itself. At Flo Mobility, we believe that the true adaptation of autonomy lies in the seamless coexistence of humans and bots. By leveraging the power of sensors, computer vision, edge computing, and actuators, we optimize this relationship to deliver the best speed, agility, comfort and control. Our hero product, FLO Hauler, is an Autonomous Electric Material mover, helping customers reduce time and cost of moving material across Construction, Agriculture, Mining and Warehousing industries. Flo Hauler is being used by industry leaders like L&T, PSP, Total Environment to gain 50% savings on cost and time for the last mile of material movement. Our solutions are offered on RaaS (Robot-as-a-Service) model. The no capex approach makes it easy for our clients to adopt our MMRs (Material Movement Robots). **Role Overview** We are seeking a detail-oriented Robotics Field Test Engineer to validate every new development before it reaches a customer. Our robots run on a ROS2-based autonomy stack and operate in unstructured, outdoor environments. You will design test cases for new features, transport the robot to testing sites, run the tests, and report issues clearly to the engineering team on GitHub Issues. **Responsibilities** ● Test Case Design: Understand new features and changes from the engineering team and write test cases for them. ● Test Library: Build and maintain a test case library covering functional, regression, and edge case scenarios. ● Test Planning: Plan each test session, including site, route, conditions, required equipment, and safety measures. ● Field Test Execution: Operate the robot during field tests, execute test cases as per defined procedures, and record observations accurately. ● Data Collection: Collect test data, including logs, rosbags, photos, and videos. ● Bug Reporting: Report bugs on GitHub Issues with clear steps to reproduce, expected versus actual behaviour, and supporting data, and assist the engineering team with issue triage. ● Verification & Regression: Retest fixes, close verified issues, and run regression tests before software releases. ● Reporting & Safety: Share a test summary after each session, document incidents and near-misses with accurate facts and timelines, and follow site safety practices and operating limits. **Education Background** ● B.E./B.Tech. or Diploma in Robotics, Mechatronics, Electronics, Mechanical, Computer Science, or a related field (Mandatory). ● Freshers are encouraged to apply. **Mandatory: Must Have Skills And Hands-On Experience 1. Writing clear, structured test cases. 2. Basic Linux command line usage. **Skills Required For The Job Role** ● Test Writing: Ability to write clear, structured test cases and test summaries. ● Robotics Basics: Basic understanding of robots and sensors (LiDAR, IMU, GPS, cameras). ● Linux: Basic Linux command line usage. ● Git & GitHub: Familiarity with Git and GitHub Issues, or willingness to learn quickly. ● Attention to Detail: Strong attention to detail and clear written communication. **Good To Have** ● Basic ROS2 knowledge: running launch files, echoing topics, recording rosbags. ● Ability to read Python or C++ code. ● Familiarity with Docker. ● Prior experience in software testing, vehicle testing, or robot testing. ● Experience working outdoors or at industrial or construction sites.
