Responsibilities
Architect and Build: Design, develop, and maintain scalable test infrastructure for conversational AI, perception, and gesture control systems
Own Testing Pipeline: Develop a robust CI/CD pipeline for automated regression testing, enabling rapid iteration and guaranteeing quality before deployment
Develop Test Scenarios: Create diverse audio environments, multi-actor social scenarios, and edge cases to rigorously test Abi's conversational and social capabilities
Model with Fidelity: Implement accurate models of Abi's hardware stack (cameras, microphone array, upper body motion) as needed for test and simulation scenarios
Enable Future ML Training: Design test infrastructure with an eye towards evolution into a simulation platform for generating synthetic training data for character animation and gesture models
Integrate and Collaborate: Work closely with the robotics, AI, and software teams to seamlessly integrate their stacks into the test infrastructure and define testing requirements
Analyse and Improve: Develop metrics, tools, and dashboards to analyse test data, identify bugs, track performance, and provide actionable feedback to the engineering teams
Qualification
Required
Bachelor or Masters in Computer Science, Robotics, Engineering, or a related field
5+ years of professional experience testing complex AI/ML systems (conversational AI, perception systems, or embodied AI)
Strong programming proficiency in Python (essential); C++ experience valuable
Hands-on experience with LLM testing, voice AI systems, or chatbot evaluation frameworks
Understanding of audio processing, speech recognition, and/or computer vision fundamentals
Experience with testing frameworks and CI/CD tools (pytest, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, etc.)
Familiarity with ML evaluation metrics and experimental design
A proactive, first-principles thinker who is excited by the prospect of owning a critical system at an early-stage startup
Preferred
Experience with simulation platforms (e.g. Unity, Unreal Engine, NVIDIA Isaac Sim, Gazebo) and physics engines
Experience with character animation systems, motion capture data, or gesture generation
Knowledge of reinforcement learning, imitation learning, or synthetic data generation for training ML models
Experience with 3D modelling tools and game engine content creation
Understanding of ROS2 for robotics integration
Knowledge of sensor modelling techniques for cameras and audio
Experience building and managing large-scale, cloud-based simulation infrastructure
PhD in a relevant field
