Requirements

  • A completed bachelor's or master's degree in robotics, computer science, electrical engineering, mechatronics, or a related field.
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals and experience building automated test systems.
  • Experience with distributed software systems, middleware, or robotics platforms.
  • Ability to collaborate closely with perception, controls, infrastructure, and platform engineering teams.
  • Strong debugging mindset and systems thinking.
  • Strong programming skills in C++ and Python.
  • Experience developing automated test frameworks and tools.
  • Deep understanding of software testing methods, including unit, integration, system, regression, and end-to-end testing.
  • Experience with ROS 2, DDS, or distributed robotics middleware architectures.
  • Understanding of robotics systems, including sensor integration, calibration workflows, synchronization, state estimation, and motion-control systems.
  • Experience debugging complex interactions between software, hardware, and networked systems.
  • Experience building CI/CD pipelines and automated validation workflows.
  • Familiarity with Linux-based development environments.
  • Strong understanding of software architecture, system observability, logging, and diagnostics.

Responsibilities

  • Develop scalable test infrastructure, automation frameworks, and validation strategies to ensure the reliability, performance, and safety of software powering humanoid robots.
  • Build robust testing and validation pipelines across the robotics stack, from embedded devices and middleware services to perception, motion control, and autonomous behavior.
  • Identify failure modes, develop automated validation frameworks, and contribute code to improve system robustness and developer productivity.
  • Help establish engineering quality standards for the 4NE1 software platform.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience with robotics perception systems, such as cameras, LiDAR, IMUs, or force/torque sensors.
  • Experience validating multi-sensor systems and synchronization pipelines.
  • Experience with simulation environments such as Isaac Sim, Gazebo, or MuJoCo.
  • Experience with hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and software-in-the-loop (SIL) testing.
  • Understanding of real-time systems and deterministic communication.
  • Knowledge of robotics communication protocols such as EtherCAT, CAN, DDS, or OPC-UA.
  • Experience with performance testing, stress testing, and reliability engineering.
  • Experience with cloud-based test infrastructure and large-scale automated validation systems.
  • Familiarity with safety-related standards and validation processes for robotics systems.

About the Company

Neura Robotics

Cognitive robots with perception, manipulation, collaboration

Neura Robotics builds cognitive robots for industrial and service settings, combining perception, manipulation, and human collaboration. It develops both the hardware and the software stack for Physical AI, creating robot platforms like MAiRA, MAV, LARA and MiPA along with training infrastructure. The system works by integrating sensing, decision-making, and manipulation capabilities on a hardware-software stack that can be deployed in large-scale production, with the company planning robots fleets and NEURA Gyms for ongoing training and improvement. What sets Neura Robotics apart is its end-to-end approach to Physical AI, including a focus on mass production, an established global deployment plan, and a broad ecosystem of strategic backers and partners that support scaling and international expansion. The goal is to enable worldwide deployment of its robot platforms and associated training infrastructure, turning physical AI into widely available industrial and service automation.
