Full Job Description

At Rhoda AI, we’re building the next generation of generalist intelligent robots. We own the full robotics stack from high-performance hardware and robot systems to the infrastructure and state-of-the-art foundation world models that control our robots. Our robots are designed to be generalists capable of operating in complex, real-world environments and handling long-tail edge cases, made possible by our cutting edge research and end-to-end system design. We've raised over $400M and are investing aggressively in model research, infrastructure, hardware development, and manufacturing scale-up to make generalist robotics a reality. We're looking for a Robot Systems QA Engineer to own the quality and reliability bar across our entire robotics platform — not just the robot itself, but the full system it operates within. You'll design and execute the validation frameworks, benchmarking pipelines, and reliability testing programs that determine whether our systems are truly ready for real-world deployment. What You'll Do - Design and own end-to-end system validation frameworks that span the full platform — robot hardware and software, cloud infrastructure, networking and communication systems, data pipelines, and operational tooling - Collaborate closely with system engineering and the product team to derive test cases and success criteria from high-level requirements - Define and track reliability KPIs and deployment readiness criteria across all system components — establishing clear, measurable thresholds that gate production releases - Build and maintain benchmarking pipelines that systematically evaluate system performance across key dimensions: uptime, latency, throughput, fault recovery, and end-to-end task success rates - Design and execute stress testing, failure mode analysis, and fault injection programs to identify reliability risks before they surface in deployment - Investigate and root-cause system-level failures — spanning software, hardware, networking,
