Job description

About Us

At Pickle Robot, we're on a mission to automate global supply chains with Physical AI. Our robots work alongside warehouse teams to unload trucks and containers — one of the toughest, most understaffed jobs in logistics — making the work safer, faster, and more efficient for the people doing it. Loading trucks comes next, followed by the Dill Autonomy Engine: generalized autonomy that will eventually orchestrate robots across entire logistics processes.


We’re looking for a Junior Manufacturing Test Engineer to join our Manufacturing Test Engineering team and support the commissioning, configuration, and final acceptance testing of our robotic systems. This is an entry-level, hands-on role—you’ll execute defined test and commissioning procedures on the floor, working closely with senior engineers and technicians as you build toward owning test processes independently.

What You’ll Do
  • Execute commissioning procedures on assembled robots per defined work instructions, including device configuration, calibration, and functional validation

  • Load production software and customer-specific configurations onto units per established procedures

  • Carry out Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) procedures and record results accurately

  • Flag test failures, calibration issues, or unexpected results with enough detail for senior engineers to act on

  • Keep test and commissioning records complete, accurate, and current

  • Learn and follow safety protocols, especially around electrical systems, robotic motion, and emergency stop validation

  • Work alongside senior Test Engineers and Manufacturing Engineering to understand the “why” behind each test step, not just the “how”

  • What You'll Bring
  • Bachelor’s or Associate’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, Mechatronics, or a related field — or equivalent hands-on experience

  • Comfortable working with test equipment, basic electrical measurement tools, and following detailed technical procedures

  • Strong attention to detail — this role is as much about catching when something doesn’t look right as it is about executing steps correctly

  • Clear and methodical written and verbal communication, especially for documenting test results and escalating issues

  • Foundational knowledge of command-line interfaces (CLI) and text editors

  • Willingness to learn the breadth of robotics-specific systems (networking, firmware, pneumatics) on the job — prior robotics experience is a plus, not a requirement

  • Aptitude for hands-on technical work with complex electro-mechanical systems

  • Inclination towards proactive process improvements

  • Frequent standing, walking, bending, and kneeling required; occasional lifting of equipment weighing up to 40 pounds

  • Comfortable in a fast-paced, hands-on manufacturing environment

  • Scripting experience to automate commissioning steps preferred
