Robotics Test and Validation Engineer

We want to catch software problems earlier: before they slow down full system tests or reach customers. That’s why we are building an in-house software testing capability, with test automation at its core.

As a Mechatronics Test Engineer, you develop test software, help build SiL and HiL test environments, investigate how our product can fail, and give developers fast, actionable feedback on changes.

You work with the test lead, embedded software engineers, and colleagues from electronics and mechanical testing. During the build-up phase, you learn from experienced colleagues and, where applicable, specialised partners. You help build knowledge and ownership within Movu and get room to help shape the approach.

Job Description

• You develop maintainable test software in Python, with reusable components, clear assertions, and useful error messages.
• You help automatically test suitable Linux applications through their software interfaces and data communication, for example in a SiL environment with Docker.
• You help build HiL setups that test embedded software and electronics using simulated sensor and actuator signals.
• You translate requirements, historical defects, and product risks into relevant automated tests, including failure scenarios, boundary values, and configuration variants.
• You make test execution repeatable and help integrate it into the development and release flow (CI/CD), with traceable software versions, configurations, and results.
• You investigate test failures with developers: is the cause in the product, the configuration, the environment, or the test itself?
• You document test results, recommend corrective actions, and obtain stakeholder acceptance.
• You log defects and issues and track them to closure.
• You collaborate closely with other teams, both within and outside Movu.
• You document decisions and ways of working, share knowledge, and help onboard future colleagues.
