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 plans to rapidly grow from 100 employees to nearly ~160+ this year alone. 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!)
• Competitive salary and stock options
• Generous healthcare options
• 401k match
• Unlimited PTO
• Other perks that connect us, including lunch on Fridays, team building activities, and more!
