Diligent Robotics - Manufacturing Reliability Engineer
Requirements
• 5+ years experience in production/test engineering for complex electro-mechanical products (robotics, medical devices, consumer electronics, or similar). • Proven ownership of E2E production test processes and production provisioning at a contract manufacturer (on-site experience strongly preferred). • Deep familiarity with test protocol development: test specification writing, fixture design, automated test implementation, and validation. • Strong hands-on experience with firmware provisioning and validation for sensors and compute (sensor FW + compute/host FW). • Broad technical knowledge across systems integration (ES integration), sensors (e.g., cameras, LiDAR, IMU or similar), embedded compute platforms, and networking/provisioning. • Excellent debugging skills across hardware, firmware, and system software; able to triage complex cross-domain failures. • Strong data-driven mindset: experienced with KPIs (FPY, cycle time, test coverage), statistical process control, and metrics reporting. Outstanding communication skills and experience working closely with contract manufacturers, operators, and cross-functional engineering teams. • Comfortable being onsite full-time at a contract manufacturer and traveling as needed. • Experience with robotics stacks (ROS or equivalent) and robotic sensor calibration/test. • Familiarity with manufacturing automation tools, CI for embedded systems, and test frameworks (Python, pytest, LabVIEW, or similar). • Experience with provisioning large fleets (device identity, secure image signing, automated configuration).
Responsibilities
• End-to-end test process ownership. Create, validate, and maintain production test protocols and gating criteria from incoming inspection through final test and shipment. • End-to-end test process ownership. • Provisioning of bots. Design and operate provisioning flows (imaging, firmware deployment, configuration, validation) and the tooling/fixtures needed to provision and handoff robots for production. • Provisioning of bots. • KPIs and continuous improvement. Own key production metrics — First Pass Yield (FPY), cycle time, and test coverage — and drive continuous improvements to meet throughput and quality targets. • KPIs and continuous improvement. • Test automation & infrastructure. Architect, implement, and maintain automated test frameworks, harnesses, and test rigs used at the CM site. Ensure tests are stable, fast, and provide actionable failure data. • Test automation & infrastructure. • Cross-functional escalation & RCA. Lead root-cause analysis for field and production failures; coordinate corrective actions with design, firmware, and CM engineering to close quality loops. • Cross-functional escalation & RCA. • On-site production leadership. Be the onsite technical authority at the contract manufacturer: train operators, debug failures on the line, and continuously refine processes with CM partners. • On-site production leadership. • What Success Looks Like • Improved FPY and reduced rework rates across production builds. • Reduced per-unit cycle time for test/provisioning while increasing test coverage. • Stable, fully automated provisioning flow with minimal manual intervention.
