About Nimble
Nimble is an AI robotics company building the autonomous supply chain to enable fast, efficient, and sustainable commerce. We’re developing a general-purpose robot AI and a warehouse generalist superhumanoid robot, the first robot in the world capable of performing all core warehouse functions. We recently closed a $106M Series C at a $1B valuation, and we are continuing to grow our world-class team.
Mission: to empower and inspire mankind to accomplish legendary feats by inventing robots that liberate us from the menial.
Vision: invent the Autonomous Supply Chain – everything from the inside of factories and warehouses to your front door – powered by industry-generalist superhumanoids to deliver faster, more efficient, and more sustainable commerce.
Our founding team comes from the AI labs at Stanford and Carnegie Mellon and our board of directors include famed robotics and AI legends including Marc Raibert (founder of Boston Dynamics), Sebastian Thrun (founder of GoogleX, Waymo; Stanford Professor and considered the father of autonomous vehicles) and Fei-Fei Li (Chief Scientist of AI at Google and Director of Stanford’s AI Lab).
Join us and leave your mark on the future of robotics, AI, and global commerce.

Role Summary
You will be the key development owner for the robot's End-of-Line (EOL) Test system, focusing on maximizing manufacturing throughput and assuring the quality of the final, fully integrated robot. This role is centered on enhancing the automated EOL testing framework and developing advanced kinematic and performance validation tests for the robot's motion and system functions.
Key Responsibilities
- Automated Framework Ownership: Own the development and optimization of the Robot Calibration Service, focusing on efficiency and test cycle time reduction.
- Test Case Implementation: Implement new automated system-level functionality tests for all major robot components (Arm, Mobility, Carriage, Compute), covering module functionality to robot action cycle tests.
- High-Speed Data Analysis: Develop judgement logic to process and analyze telemetry data to generate objective PASS/FAIL criteria and comprehensive reports.
- Kinematic and Accuracy Testing: Develop and maintain the software for external fixture-based testing and kinematic checks using metrology tools like laser trackers.
- Factory SW Deployment Integrity: Manage and refine the factory software deployment process.
Essential Qualifications
- BS or MS in Computer Science, Robotics, Mechatronics or a related engineering field.
- 3+ years of experience in test automation development, with a focus on robotics or integrated electro-mechanical systems in a production environment.
- Strong programming skills in Python or Rust for developing automated test scripts and analysis tools. Familiarity with industrial control or robotic middleware (e.g., ROS/ROS2, custom control frameworks).
- Proven ability to work with and analyze high-speed sensor data (e.g., torque, force, encoder readings) to assess performance and diagnose system-level issues.
- Experience in developing or working with automated functional test stations and knowledge of kinematic calibration techniques.
Culture:
We embrace challenges and strive to make the impossible possible each day. We’re not in this to do what’s easy or to be mediocre. We want to create something legendary and leave our mark on the world. We’re ambitious, we’re gritty, we’re humble and we’re relentlessly resourceful in pursuit of our goals.
