From the posting

Apptronik is a human-centered robotics company developing AI-powered robots to support humanity in every facet of life. Our flagship humanoid robot, Apollo, is built to collaborate thoughtfully with people, starting with critical industries such as manufacturing and logistics, with future applications in healthcare, the home, and beyond.

We operate at the cutting edge of Applied AI, applying our expertise across the full robotics stack to solve some of society's most important problems. You will join a team dedicated to bringing Apollo to market at scale, tackling the complex challenges like safety, commercialization, and mass production to change the world for the better.

Job summary: We are seeking a Senior Manager, Systems Test to own Apptronik’s systems test team, the group responsible for validating our integrated humanoid robots at the system level before they reach customers. This is a hands-on leadership role: you will receive software and hardware from engineering and test it as the customer would, build the manual and automated tests and the robotic fixtures that make humanoid testing repeatable, and run the release process as the final line of defense.

You will lead and grow the team, set test strategy, and drive defects from discovery through reproduction and handoff to the responsible teams. You will be accountable for escapes to the customer, and for the corrective actions that keep them from happening again.
