About this role

We are looking for a Robotics Test Engineer with 5-7 years of experience to join the Adams Transport team and help scale device bring-up and testing infrastructure for autonomous vehicles. You'll be part of a new but well-resourced transportation division, leveraging proven technology from Pronto's autonomous mining platform to build out testing processes for vehicle integration. This is a ground-floor opportunity to shape how new vehicles are onboarded, tested, and validated within a modular, OEM-agnostic autonomous stack. The team is engineering-led, fast-moving, and deploying real technology into production environments—not running simulations in a lab.

What will you be doing?

Creating processes and writing software for flashing, bring-up, and testing new vehicle devices across multiple OEMs (Toyota, Hyundai, Hitachi, etc.)

Debugging complex software-to-hardware integration issues alongside technicians, electrical engineers, and other robotics engineers

Building hardware-in-the-loop tests for actuation, burn-in, and bench testing

Developing tools and test frameworks for technicians—including visualization, test deployment, result tracking, and test execution

Assessing and building scalable processes to bring new devices live and operating within the company's autonomous software stack
