Software Backend Test Engineer

Our Purpose

TERADYNE – where experience meets innovation and driving excellence in every connection. We foster an inclusive culture that values diversity, collaboration, and continuous learning, enabling us to deliver advanced robotics solutions with real‑world impact.

Opportunity Overview

In this role, you will contribute directly to the quality and reliability of robot platform and its core components. You would be responsible for testing the core operating system components of the Robot, including networking features, firewall features etc. You will work closely with developers, product managers, and other stakeholders to ensure that our solutions meet the highest standards of performance, safety, and usability.

We are looking for a Backend Test engineer with strong Python automation skills who enjoys working close to the product and the code. You should be comfortable combining hands-on manual testing with Linux Based platforms using Python-based automated testing, while also bringing a strong understanding of ROS. If you are motivated by improving product quality through robust test coverage, fast feedback loops, and close collaboration with developers, this could be the right role for you.

Responsibilities

Design, write, and maintain automated tests in Python for new and existing features of the operating system components of the Robot

Develop and maintain unit, integration, and regression tests to ensure stable and reliable releases

Work closely with developers to understand the changes being made in the controller operating system layer or the network layer, investigate failures,



and improve testability

Contribute to and improve test frameworks

Help define effective test strategies and quality practices across the development lifecycle in an agile setup

Build tests that have hardware in the loop (not all flakiness comes from software)

Qualification, Experience, Skills and Educational Background

To succeed in this role, we imagine you have a strong background in software test engineering and a practical mindset when it comes to combining automation with hands-on validation. You understand how software is built, how systems fail, and how to create effective tests that increase quality and confidence.

Skills Required

4 to 6 years of experience in software backend testing, software quality engineering of OS level software components, or a similar role

Strong experience writing and maintaining automated tests in Python for backend components using tools like pytest and FastAPI.

Experience with Penetration testing

Experience with API Testing

Familiarity with GoLang and its frameworks.

Familiarity with Containerization technique (Docker, Podman)

Proficient with linux environment and linux commands

Linux networking stack + systemd (services, journald, network namespaces)

Network analysis tooling: Wireshark/tcpdump and nmap and traffic shaping for resilience tests.

Hands-on experience with manual testing of complex systems, ideally involving hardware, robotics, or integrated software-hardware solutions

Experience creating and maintaining unit, integration,



and regression tests

Good understanding of test frameworks, debugging, and finding root causes

Experience working with CI/CD pipelines, build servers, or DevOps practices such as Jenkins or similar tools

Ability to understand complex systems, identify risks, and design effective test coverage

Experience working in agile or scrum environments

It will be considered an advantage if you have:
Familiarity with ROS2, Industrial Communication Protocols

Familiarity with Firewall (NF Tables/IP Tables)

Experience building or improving test automation frameworks

Hardware-in-the-loop test frameworks such as labgrid, bench hardware, networked power for automated power-cycling, serial console capture, etc.

Automating through the robot's own interfaces (Dashboard Server, RTDE, the primary/secondary/real-time client ports, URScript)

Strong knowledge of DevOps practices, pipelines, and build servers

Knowledge of safety standards and regulations relevant to robotics or industrial systems

Communication Skills

Strong communication and collaboration skills and fluency in English

Experience working with distributed and international teams

Working across teams and locations

You will be part of a setup where engineers in India and Denmark work closely together.

This requires:
Clear and conscientious communication

Ability to explain technical issues to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

A cooperative mindset and willingness to contribute across team boundaries

We are only considering candidates local to the position location. This position does not offer relocation or visa sponsorship.
