The posting

As a Robustness Test Technician at Boston Dynamics, you will be a part of a small, fast-moving group helping with the construction, operation, testing, and troubleshooting of integrated mechanical and electrical systems in support of the Engineering team. Every day you will do hands-on work on system designs and dense electromechanical integrations. You will frequently contribute to lab building and debugging of robotic systems ranging from small test systems to fully integrated robots. To thrive in this role, you must be able to work quickly and adapt to constantly evolving priorities and technical considerations, while keeping track of several task threads at the same time.

Boston Dynamics is a world leader in mobile robots, tackling some of the toughest robotics challenges. For years, our awe-inspiring viral videos on YouTube have shown the world what remarkably capable robots can do. Now we are quickly becoming a recognized leader in automation solutions for industrial applications and warehouse logistics.

Day to day activities:

  • Up to 50% Time Lab Management: Procuring and maintaining lab resources (robots, payloads, test infrastructure, test equipment), and all lab needs that don’t strictly fall under facilities or IT.
  • Conducts initial build of complex prototype electromechanical sub-assemblies such as computers, power distribution systems, sensors, embedded data acquisition systems, and embedded processors for robotic systems.
  • Independently conducts design validation testing for new robot subsystems. Troubleshoots and identifies root causes of system failures in sub-assemblies and complete robots.
  • Creates test plans and procedures with little engineering guidance. Performs a critical role by identifying detailed and nuanced design issues and recommending corrective actions to design engineers.
  • May design custom test fixtures or robot subsystems using CAD programs such as Altium and Catia.
  • Plans lab equipment, work spaces, and project timelines in coordination with managers and engineers to ensure we have the environment and equipment necessary to accomplish project goals related to creation of prototype robots.
  • Maintains and monitors long-running test-stand experiments, collecting test data and noting and communicating unexpected results or issues.

Desired skills:

  • Hands-on experience building and debugging electro-mechanical test setups, fixtures or similar equipment
  • Experience with lab equipment including oscilloscopes, power supplies, programmable loads, thermal probes
  • Be able to multitask, and change priorities quickly as needed
  • Be able to clearly communicate test results and data verbally, in spreadsheets or other databases, and in written reports/slide decks

Nice to have skills:

  • Experience with test automation
  • Experience with Python and command-line operations in a UNIX-like OS
  • Experience working with robots and/or robotic systems.
  • Experience with CAD programs such as Catia, SolidWorks, or similar
  • Experience interpreting schematic capture and PCB layout
  • Experience with PCB rework and cable assembly, especially technically difficult rework

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
