  • Promote and contribute to a safe, collaborative work environment
  • Mentor and guide the test engineers

About the role:

We are currently designing the next generation of Digit for commercial scale. The scale of the system and reliability that must be achieved are orders of magnitude higher than any existing bipedal platform, including our own, and the primary method that this will be achieved is by rigorous design and substantial testing. The test engineering team owns the processes and support structure around the execution of tests, and therefore will be a primary focal point of the definition and validation of success of the product. The Test Engineering Manager will be responsible for the team and the test processes within Agility.
