Senior Software Test Engineer

Wilder Systems builds robots that do precision work across aerospace manufacturing and MRO — drilling, fastening, sanding, and inspection — on systems deployed to factory floors and flight lines worldwide. As a Senior Software Test Engineer, you own the test strategy and automation for a system: how we prove it works before it ships and keep it working in the field. You define test requirements across components, build the automation that catches regressions, drive software-hardware failures to root cause, and mentor the test engineers around you — working across the robotics software and hardware teams on real hardware.

Job Summary

Wilder Systems builds robots that do precision work across aerospace manufacturing and MRO — drilling, fastening, sanding, and inspection — on systems deployed to factory floors and flight lines worldwide. As a Senior Software Test Engineer, you own the test strategy and automation for a system: how we prove it works before it ships and keep it working in the field. You define test requirements across components, build the automation that catches regressions, drive software-hardware failures to root cause, and mentor the test engineers around you — working across the robotics software and hardware teams on real hardware.

What You'll Do

• Test strategy & requirements — own the test strategy and requirements for a system, across its components
• Test automation — design and build the automated test framework and suites that catch regressions before they reach the field
• Manual & hardware testing — define and run the manual and on-hardware tests automation can\'t cover, and troubleshoot software-hardware failures to root cause with the software and hardware teams
• Release notes — own the user-facing change documentation (release notes) for each release, in collaboration with the robotics software and hardware teams
• Technical leadership — set the quality bar, own test requirements across components, and mentor Test Engineer I and II through test design and review

Required Experience

• A track record owning test strategy and automation for a system or product end-to-end
• Strong test automation in Python and/or C++ (or comparable)
• Deep experience with both automated and manual testing of complex systems
• Hands-on debugging of software-hardware integration issues on real hardware
• Solid software fundamentals: version control, CI, scripting, and reading production code
• A track record setting test requirements and mentoring other test engineers

Preferred Experience

• Testing robotics, industrial automation, or other cyber-physical systems
• ROS 2 and robotics middleware
• Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test development
• Test frameworks and CI at scale (pytest, GoogleTest, Jenkins or GitHub Actions)
• Authoring release notes or customer-facing change documentation
• Familiarity with the domains under test — perception, motion, calibration

Travel

up to 25% for system deployments, on-site integration, and customer support.
