Role summary
Maven Robotics is seeking a Hardware Test Lead to own hardware testing for their intelligent robotics systems. This role involves developing test strategies, designing test fixtures, and executing tests for robot subsystems and full robots. Responsibilities include design verification, functional and reliability testing, life and environmental testing, and safety verification. The ideal candidate will have 5+ years of hardware testing experience, a BS in a relevant engineering field, and experience with test instrumentation and safety standards. Experience with Python or MATLAB and leadership is a plus.
About Maven
Maven Robotics designs, builds, and deploys intelligent robotics for logistics and manufacturing. Maven is building the first general-purpose robotics system for industrial work. Our mission is to activate autonomous labor at scale and build toward infinitely elastic industrial capacity. We’re a team of engineers, researchers, and operators who have spent our careers working on the hardest problems in AI, robotics, engineering, and autonomous systems. We work at the intersection of advanced research and real-world engineering, turning ideas into prototypes and deployed systems.
At Maven, we build around the realities of industrial work. The robots are designed from first principles for complex physical environments and rigorous commercial standards. They master real tasks that deliver immediate impact, industrial-grade reliability, and intelligence that compounds at scale. We’re growing an ambitious team of people who think in systems, move quickly, and are builders at heart.
About the Role
In this role, you will own hardware testing at Maven from high-level test strategy development through fixture design and test execution. You will work collaboratively with other teams to define, architect, and execute hardware tests at the subsystem and full-robot level. Hardware testing will include design verification, functional and reliability testing, life and environmental testing, and safety verification.
