Role overview

Job description

About Us At Pickle Robot, we're on a mission to automate global supply chains with Physical AI. Our robots work alongside warehouse teams to unload trucks and containers — one of the toughest, most understaffed jobs in logistics — making the work safer, faster, and more efficient for the people doing it.  Loading trucks comes next, followed by the Dill Autonomy Engine: generalized autonomy that will eventually orchestrate robots across entire logistics processes. We’re looking for a Junior Manufacturing Test Engineer to join our Manufacturing Test Engineering team and support the commissioning, configuration, and final acceptance testing of our robotic systems. This is an entry-level, hands-on role—you’ll execute defined test and commissioning procedures on the floor, working closely with senior engineers and technicians as you build toward owning test processes independently. What You’ll Do
  • Execute commissioning procedures on assembled robots per defined work instructions, including device configuration, calibration, and functional validation

  • Load production software and customer-specific configurations onto units per established procedures

  • Carry out Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) procedures and record results accurately

  • Flag test failures, calibration issues, or unexpected results with enough detail for senior engineers to act on

  • Keep test and commissioning records complete, accurate, and current

  • Learn and follow safety protocols, especially around electrical systems, robotic motion, and emergency stop validation

  • Work alongside senior Test Engineers and Manufacturing Engineering to understand the “why” behind each test step, not just the “how”


  • What You'll Bring
  • Bachelor’s or Associate’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, Mechatronics, or a related field — or equivalent hands-on experience

  • Comfortable working with test equipment, basic electrical measurement tools, and following detailed technical procedures

  • Strong attention to detail — this role is as much about catching when something doesn’t look right as it is about executing steps correctly

  • Clear and methodical written and verbal communication, especially for documenting test results and escalating issues

  • Foundational knowledge of command-line interfaces (CLI) and text editors

  • Willingness to learn the breadth of robotics-specific systems (networking, firmware, pneumatics) on the job — prior robotics experience is a plus, not a requirement

  • Aptitude for hands-on technical work with complex electro-mechanical systems

  • Inclination towards proactive process improvements

  • Frequent standing, walking, bending, and kneeling required; occasional lifting of equipment weighing up to 40 pounds

  • Comfortable in a fast-paced, hands-on manufacturing environment

  • Scripting experience to automate commissioning steps preferred


  • Pay at Pickle At Pickle Robot Company, we believe transparency builds trust. The salary range listed here is provided in accordance with Massachusetts law and reflects what we reasonably and in good faith expect to offer for this role. We often consider candidates at different levels of seniority, and final compensation will reflect the level at which a candidate is hired, along with factors like experience and location.   Pickle Perks  Pickle provides best-in-class benefits, including health, dental, and vision insurance; unlimited vacation; paid federal and state holidays; 401(k) contributions of 5% of your salary; company-covered travel expenses; and other perks to make your working life more fun, comfortable, and productive.
