Eka Robotics Eka Robotics is on a mission to build intelligence for the physical world - robots that are fast, general, and reliable. Our approach, grounded in physics, unlocks superhuman capabilities. We are defining the frontier of robotics research and deployment. Our team consists of pioneers in robotics and machine learning. We are now hiring to scale our R&D effort. We are looking for hands-on individuals who are excited to help shape the future of robotics. Role Overview As a Senior / Staff / Principal Test Engineer, you will own the test strategy and validation approach for our next-generation robotic systems. You will lead the end-to-end testing lifecycle, from defining strategy and designing custom test fixtures to executing rigorous validation protocols. You will ensure our hardware, ranging from electrical components and PCBAs to high-precision actuators and grippers and full robotic arms, meets performance requirements and global certification standards (Safety, IP, etc.). This is a hands-on technical leadership role with scope and level determined by experience. At the Staff and Principal levels, you will establish testing practices across programs, guide architecture and design decisions through test evidence, and drive long-term improvements in hardware reliability. Responsibilities - Test Strategy & Planning: Own comprehensive test plans for electrical components and PCBAs, mechanical sub-assemblies (actuators, end-effectors), and integrated robotic solutions. Define acceptance criteria, prioritize risks, and establish validation coverage for functionality, performance, and reliability. - Design & Development: Design, build, and maintain custom automated test equipment, jigs, and fixtures using CAD and rapid prototyping. Develop reusable test infrastructure that scales across hardware programs. - Execution & Analysis: Conduct functional, environmental, and stress testing. Lead failure investigations and root cause analysis, and work closely with the…
