Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
You will lead verification and validation efforts for autonomous lab robotics, ensuring software quality through automated testing and hardware-in-the-loop integration. This role involves building robust test suites, managing test data, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to catch failures early in the development cycle.
The ideal candidate has 4–8 years of experience in software test or QA automation for complex, integrated systems. Proficiency in Python, CI/CD pipelines, and experience with hardware-in-the-loop or robotics testing is required.
You will steward Verification & Validation and software quality for our autonomous labs, where software meets real robotics hardware. On the Independent Verification & Validation team, you'll build the V&V, Hardware-in-the-Loop, and UI testing that lets us ship fast without breaking the lab, partnering with platform, simulation, and human-factors engineers to catch failures in test rather than on the bench.
We offer competitive base compensation with bonus potential and generous early-stage equity. Your final offer will reflect your background, expertise, and expected impact.
U.S. Benefits. Full-time U.S. employees receive a comprehensive benefits program including medical, dental, and vision coverage; employer-paid life and disability insurance; flexible time off with generous company wide holidays; paid parental leave; an educational assistance program; commuter benefits, including bike share memberships for office based employees; and a company subsidized lunch program.
International Benefits. Full-time employees outside the U.S. receive a comprehensive benefits program tailored to their region. USD salary ranges apply only to U.S.-based positions; international salaries are set to local market.
