Job Description

Pickle is on the hunt for a dynamic and driven Software Quality Assurance Engineer (SQA) to revolutionize the future of warehouse automation. You’ll work hand-in-hand with the Autonomy Team developers, hardware teams, and deployment engineers to design, execute, and automate test strategies for real-world robotic platforms operating in logistics warehouses across the U.S.

You’ll own the end-to-end testing lifecycle—from validating features in development to verifying robot behavior in staging environments to supporting test procedures in the field. Your work will directly improve the stability and scalability of Pickle’s growing fleet of robotic truck unloaders.

This is an excellent role for someone who is highly collaborative, enjoys hands-on testing, and thrives in fast-paced, hardware / software-integrated environment.

Responsibilities :

• Work closely with software engineers to develop and validate test cases, ensuring comprehensive test coverage and thorough testing of new features.
• Actively participate in design reviews, offering insights on testability, reliability, and safety, while identifying potential risks and areas for improvements.
• Develop and execute manual test plans to verify complex systems, including perception, planning, and control layers.
• Set up and manage test scenarios in simulation environments (e.g. Foxglove, Gazebo, ROS simulators) and on physical robot hardware.
• Identify and automate test cases using appropriate frameworks and scripting tools.
• Analyze logged data to identify discrepancies, perform root cause analysis of issues, and verify fixes.
• Document test results and provide detailed bug reports.
