SERVE ROBOTICS

At Serve Robotics, we’re reimagining how things move in cities. Our personable sidewalk robot is our vision for the future. It’s designed to take deliveries away from congested streets, make deliveries available to more people, and benefit local businesses. Why move two-pound burritos with two-ton cars?

The Serve fleet has been delighting merchants, customers, and pedestrians along the way in Los Angeles while doing commercial deliveries. We’re looking for talented individuals who will grow robotic deliveries from surprising novelty to efficient ubiquity.

WHO ARE WE?

We are tech industry veterans in software, hardware, and design who are pooling our skills to build the future we want to live in. We are solving real-world problems leveraging robotics, machine learning and computer vision, among other disciplines, with a mindful eye towards the end-to-end user experience. Our team is agile, diverse, and driven. We believe that the best way to solve complicated dynamic problems is collaboratively and respectfully.

ROLE

As a systems engineer focused on hardware test, you are responsible for ensuring that our robot functions as intended, operates safely, and satisfies market/customer needs. You will own the development and execution of novel test methodologies for an autonomous sidewalk robot. You will collaborate across many teams and disciplines to test components, subsystems, and robots in both controlled and uncontrolled environments; and to apply the associated learnings to the design and manufacturing of our robot.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Lead interdisciplinary teams to formulate, execute, and analyze characterization, verification & validation, and reliability test activities at the component, subsystem, and system levels

• Develop test methods that meet requirement intent; this will include protocol development, fixture design, test method validation, test software development, analysis of data, and report/test summary generation

• Close the feedback loop to various interdisciplinary teams through analysis and presentation of test results; and where applicable/appropriate make design recommendations based on those results

• Drive the development of documentation and tooling (including development of test software) for transfer-to-manufacturing and transfer-to-field-operations of critical tests to ensure safe and performant system function

REQUIREMENTS

• B.S., M.S., or Ph.D in Mechanical, Electrical, or equivalent engineering field

• 5+ years of experience in the design, integration, and/or test of electromechanical systems

• Experience developing and executing comprehensive test protocols for electromechanical and/or robotic systems

• Experience in data analysis of test results including probability and statistical analysis techniques

• Hands-on approach to the test and debugging of electromechanical systems

• Fundamental knowledge of mechanical, electrical, and software engineering

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills for audiences ranging from technicians to senior executives

BONUS

• Experience in one or more of the following industries: automotive, medical, aerospace, robotics

• Experience developing software scripts (Python, Bash) for automating hardware tests

• Experience working in Unix/Linux environments

Hiring locations

Currently, we are only hiring US and Canada residents, even for remote jobs.

More about us

Serve Robotics is the team that created the Postmates delivery robot and brought it to life in LA, completing tens of thousands of deliveries in LA’s busiest neighborhoods. Now we're an independent company growing rapidly in order to connect people with what they need via robots designed to serve people.

We are proud to be an equal employment opportunity and affirmative action employer.
