#WeAreUR and we continuously redefine automation

At Universal Robots, part of Teradyne Inc., has a simple mission: Automation for Anyone. Anywhere.

Our vision is to create a world where people work with robots, not like robots. And with 75,000+ cobots already installed worldwide, we’re already making a difference. Working towards our vision gives us endless opportunities to learn, grow, innovate, and solve problems together as we bring our technology to companies of all sizes all over the world.

About the Role

Your work as our new Test Automation Engineer will be essential in ensuring our systems are reliable, efficient, and meet the highest standards of quality. You’ll play a key role in enabling developers to catch issues early and deliver high-performing software with confidence.

As a quality advocate, you’ll help identify root causes of defects and translate those insights into smarter, more effective test coverage.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Design, develop, and maintain automated testing tools and frameworks using Python.
• Collaborate closely with developers to integrate testing practices throughout the development lifecycle.
• Transform escaped defects and pipeline issues into preventative test cases.
• Ensure test results are clear, actionable, and accessible to the development team.
• Execute safety and regression tests to validate system behavior under real-world conditions

We are driven by honesty and act with integrity - #WhoAreUR

We’re looking for a detail-oriented and quality-driven Test Automation Engineer to help us build and maintain robust automated testing frameworks. Moreover, you have:

• Strong experience with Python, particularly for building and maintaining test automation frameworks
• Hands-on experience with test management tools like Jira for tracking tasks, bugs, and test cases
• Solid understanding of software testing principles, with a focus on performance, reliability, and usability
• Collaborative mindset, with a passion for embedding quality into the development lifecycle

On-site presence is essential, as testing involves hardware-in-the-loop systems. You can expect to be in the office an average of at least four days per week. We aim to provide a flexible and supportive work environment that promotes collaboration and high-quality outcomes without compromising on efficiency.

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience designing experiments or performance tests, especially in robotics contexts.
• Experience with processing test data and generating traceability reports that link test cases to requirements and code changes.
• Exposure to safety-critical testing or validation of hardware/software systems.

Who You’ll Work With

You’ll be part of a collaborative team focused on embedded software in Universal Robots. We work closely together, support each other, and believe in building remarkable things through shared knowledge and mutual respect.

We care deeply about:

• Collaboration – we build better things together.
• Integrity – we do what’s right, even when it’s hard.
• Continuous learning – we’re always growing, and we support each other in doing so.

We collaborate - it´s in our DNA
