Lila is building a dedicated platform evaluation function within our robotics organization. The team tests and benchmarks alternative robotics platforms, including mobile manipulators, AMRs and AGVs, and other form factors, against our current production baseline. Consistent methodology across platforms is the point: results have to be directly comparable to be useful.
As a Robotics Platform Evaluation Engineer, you own robots end to end. You unbox and commission new hardware, integrate it with our software stack and infrastructure, execute the full test program, and turn the results into decision-ready comparisons that inform which platforms we adopt.
This is a hands-on, systems-level role. You will be in the lab working directly with hardware, not reviewing spec sheets. You will also shape the evaluation methodology and the tooling behind it, so each platform assessment runs faster and more consistently than the last.
