Test and System Validation Engineer

Samson Rose has been exclusively engaged to find multiple engineering roles for a pioneering company developing autonomous robotic systems for defense and industrial applications. We are currently seeking talented professionals for positions including Senior Wireless Communications Engineer and Test & Systems Validation Engineer to join their high-impact team. These roles provide a unique opportunity to contribute to next-generation autonomous systems that operate across air, ground, and maritime domains.

A bit about the company:
Strategic Growth Stage: They recently raised additional funding and are targeting a Series A in the next few months. They have several key roles to hire for immediately, with plans to significantly expand the team after the next funding round. This is a high-growth environment with ample opportunities for career development.
Mission-Driven Innovation: They specialize in autonomous systems software, deploying machine learning models for operational field roles across air, ground, and maritime platforms. Their technology is designed to be highly intuitive and "sticky," allowing new users to quickly get up to speed and operate complex systems with minimal training.
Impactful Work: The team is already generating revenue from operational and R&D contracts with defense and government customers. Their projects range from field deployments of autonomous systems to advanced robotics integration, positioning employees at the forefront of innovation in autonomous robotics software.

The person we are looking for:
In this role, you’ll own the day-to-day testing, integration, and verification of their multi-robot systems. This role serves as the internal authority on whether the platform truly performs in the real world. This is a deeply technical, highly practical position for someone equally fluent in hardware and software. Someone who thrives on unit-testing real robots, isolating faults, reproducing elusive bugs, and turning ambiguous failures into crisp, actionable feedback.
Extensive, demonstrable hands-on experience operating, building, and troubleshooting a wide variety of robotic systems, including multi-rotors, fixed-wing UAVs, UGVs, and other complex platforms.
Deep expertise in robotic hardware development, including mechanical assembly, soldering, power systems, and safe handling of high-capacity batteries.
Strong systems-level diagnostic ability, with experience isolating failures across software, firmware, networking, sensors, compute, and electromechanical subsystems.

If this role is of interest to you, please apply with your current resume. We’ll follow up to schedule an initial call
