About the Role

$20–$22/hour | Approximately 8–30 hours per week

Rovex is a robotics company in Gainesville, FL building autonomous mobile robots designed to support hospital operations and improve the way healthcare teams move people, materials, and resources throughout their facilities.

Rovex is looking for a meticulous, reliable, and technically curious Robotics Test QA Technician to help us test and improve Rovi, our robotic platform.

In this role, you will be responsible for hands-on testing and validation of Rovi across a wide range of scenarios and operating conditions. You will operate Rovi, execute structured test plans, repeat tests to validate performance and reliability, and carefully document results and unexpected behaviors.

Your work will directly support our engineering team by increasing the amount of real-world testing we can perform, identifying issues earlier, and helping us iterate faster as we build more capable and reliable robotic systems.

This is a hands-on technical role, but you do not need to be an engineer. We are looking for someone who enjoys technology, is comfortable working with hardware and software, follows procedures carefully, and has the patience and attention to detail required to test complex robotic systems consistently.

Schedule & Hours

A major purpose of this position is to increase the amount of time we can test Rovi outside of our core engineering workday. Testing sessions will therefore primarily take place before or after normal business hours.

Typical testing windows may include:

  • Morning: Approximately 7:00–9:00 AM
  • Evening: Approximately 5:00–9:00 PM
  • Occasional weekend or additional testing sessions

We are open to different levels of availability and expect this role to range from approximately 8–30 hours per week, depending on availability.

For college students, this may look like 2–4 consistent testing sessions per week around classes and extracurricular commitments. Candidates with greater availability may have the opportunity to work additional testing hours.

We are less concerned with fitting a traditional work schedule and more interested in finding someone who can consistently commit to focused testing sessions and perform high-quality, repeatable testing.

What You'll Do

Operate & Test Rovi

  • Operate Rovi through defined routes, scenarios, and real-world situations.
  • Evaluate the performance, reliability, and consistency of our robotic systems.
  • Observe Rovi closely for differences or unexpected behavior between test runs.

Execute Repeatable Test Protocols

  • Follow written testing procedures and test plans.
  • Repeat tests across different software builds, hardware configurations, environments, and operating conditions.
  • Maintain consistent attention to detail throughout repetitive testing.

Some tests may need to be performed dozens of times. We are looking for someone who maintains the same level of attention on the 30th test as they do on the first.

Identify & Document Problems

  • Identify unusual robot behavior, hardware issues, software bugs, navigation problems, and other inconsistencies.
  • Clearly document failures so our engineering team can reproduce and investigate them.
  • Capture useful supporting information when needed, including:
  • Written test results and observations
  • Photos and videos
  • Steps leading up to a failure
  • Environmental conditions
  • Success and failure rates
  • Notes about unexpected robot behavior

Reset & Prepare Robots

  • Assist with robot setup, charging, staging, and resetting.
  • Perform basic troubleshooting between tests.
  • Keep Rovi prepared so testing can continue efficiently.

Support Field Testing

  • Occasionally travel with the Rovex team to hospitals, facilities, or other testing environments.
  • Help operate and evaluate Rovi in real-world conditions.

Work With the Engineering Team

  • Receive testing priorities and procedures from engineers.
  • Execute assigned tests independently.
  • Provide clear, organized results for the engineering team to review.

Your testing will directly help our engineers understand what's working, what's failing, and what needs to improve next.

Requirements

What We're Looking For

Exceptional attention to detail You notice small differences in how hardware or software behaves and don't ignore something just because it "mostly worked."

Patience and consistency You're comfortable performing repeatable tests without cutting corners or losing focus.

Technical curiosity You enjoy working with computers, electronics, robots, drones, hardware, or other technology.

Ability to follow procedures You can take a written test protocol and execute it consistently from beginning to end.

Clear communication You can explain what happened when something fails in a way that someone else can understand and reproduce.

Reliability Because much of this testing may happen outside normal engineering hours, we need someone who can be trusted to consistently show up and execute assigned testing.

Comfort working independently Once trained, you should be comfortable running testing sessions with limited supervision.

Nice to Have — But Not Required

  • Experience with robotics, drones, electronics, computers, or hardware
  • Previous QA, product testing, or technical support experience
  • Experience building, repairing, or troubleshooting computers or electronics
  • Experience in a technical support environment such as Geek Squad or similar
  • Familiarity with GitHub, Jira, Trello, or other issue-tracking tools
  • Experience with mapping, navigation, or spatial software
  • Participation in robotics, engineering, maker, or other technical clubs

No previous professional robotics experience is required.

Who Might Be a Great Fit?

This role could be a great fit if you're:

  • A college student interested in robotics who wants hands-on experience working with real robotic systems
  • Someone who builds computers, drones, electronics, or other technology as a hobby
  • An experienced technical support or electronics technician
  • Someone who enjoys troubleshooting and figuring out why technology isn't behaving as expected
  • The kind of person who notices when something is slightly "off" and wants to understand why

Benefits

Pay: $20–$22/hour Hours: Approximately 8–30 hours per week, depending on availability and testing needs Employment: Part-time Location: Gainesville, Florida Schedule: Primarily mornings, evenings, and other hours outside the core engineering workday, flexible Travel: Occasional travel may be required for field testing

Why This Role Matters

Robotic systems improve through rigorous, consistent testing.

Every additional hour we can operate and test Rovi gives our engineering team more information about how the system performs in the real world. The failures you discover, test cycles you complete, and observations you document will directly contribute to building safer, more reliable, and more capable robotic systems.

If you're excited about robotics, enjoy hands-on technology, and take pride in doing precise work consistently, we'd love to hear from you.
