Full job details
Are you inspired by invention? Is problem solving through teamwork in your DNA? Do you like the idea of seeing how your work impacts the bigger picture? Answer yes to any of these and you'll fit right in here at Amazon Robotics. We are a smart team of doers that work passionately to apply advances in robotics and software to solve real-world challenges that will transform our customers' experiences.
We need engineers to help define the way we validate and test our products and features. You will be the quality advocate to enable delivery of high-quality robotics solutions, in collaboration with research scientists, software developers, and hardware engineers. If you are passionate about pioneering new technologies for the real world and delivering great products, we want to talk to you.
Key job responsibilities
- Create and execute test plans and test cases for robotics product components, ensuring comprehensive coverage across functional areas.
- Isolate, document, and validate defects, troubleshooting issues to help developers identify root causes efficiently.
- Collaborate with software and hardware engineers to understand technical architecture and assess how changes impact test scope and product behavior.
- Interpret and report testing results, advocating for quality in every phase of the development process.
- Execute testing on in-house test floors to verify features meet quality standards prior to production deployment.
A day in the life
You will split your time between writing and executing test cases, reviewing requirements with engineers, and investigating defects. Some days are more collaborative — joining design reviews or scoping sessions with developers — while others are focused solo time on your test floor running through scenarios and documenting results. You will regularly share findings with your team and recommend improvements to testing approaches.
Amazon offers a full range of benefits that support you and eligible family members, including domestic partners. Benefits can vary by location, the number of regularly scheduled hours you work, length of employment, and job status such as seasonal or temporary employment.
