About the Job   

We believe in providing our clients with specific solutions to their problems. This might mean prototyping new hardware platforms, developing custom software applications, or processing 3D point clouds. Our projects range from one-off development of multi-ton unmanned ground vehicles to mass production of custom built environmental monitoring equipment.   

We're looking for a Senior Test Developer to take our testing and validation to the next level and help us to get our hardware doing what it's been built to do.  You will take charge of test plan development and execution for various products and custom projects, to ensure that our hardware and software is co-existing harmoniously. This will range from designing test campaigns to identify and eliminate issues early on, through to tail end validation focused on detailed product verification. Your goal is to increase efficiencies and reliability with regards to product testing and validation. You will work closely with the rest of the Clearpath development team to make sure that we are delivering properly engineered solutions.    

Your primary responsibilities will be:   

  • Designing test campaigns
  • Executing test for full system, component, simulation, and performance
  • Documenting test results
  • Capturing issues and artifacts, establishing strong feedback loop back into development
  • Extending test frameworks
  • Supporting CI and internal tools and infrastructure
  • Supporting development systems infrastructure 

Additional responsibilities may include:   

  • Developing simulations, maintaining and extending testing standards and best practices
  • Testing and validating product components used in projects
  • Determining or helping to drive test requirements for new products, components, or projects as required
  • Alerting the team and stopping the robots from starting their own revolution

You want to be surrounded by people like you; creative, fun-loving, and passionate about their work. You are motivated by making an impact on your workplace and you thrive on challenging and rewarding problems.   

Your programming background is strong and you’re able to diagnose issues faster than the speed of light. You like the thought of working on projects that interact with the world, even more so when they can do so on their own. You're looking for a job where you get to interact with a diverse team and learn something new every day. We can't promise it'll be interesting or relevant, but it'll be new!
