Engineered Arts is looking for a Senior QA Engineer to join the software team. You’ll be challenged with developing and supporting our deployment and testing processes for all the robots. The focus will be on improving and maintaining the high quality of our uniquely amazing humanoid robots through designing and implementing tests, debugging, and QA metrics. Hardware is at the centre of everything we do and this role will involve the support of hardware monitoring and issue detection as we design, manufacture, commission, and test every robot we sell.

This role can be based from either our London office or Falmouth HQ (4 days per week in office).

• Testing Approaches: Define and implement testing approaches for releases, including regression, compatibility, and performance validation. Work closely with Product Managers and cross-functional teams (software, hardware, and commissioning) to triage defects, identify integration issues, prioritise fixes, and support release decisions.
• Quality Strategy & Metrics: Contribute to and help shape the overall quality strategy, maintaining visibility of product quality through test reporting and metrics to support data-informed decision-making. Support the validation and investigation of customer-reported issues, helping identify root causes and potential workarounds.
• Apply and promote testing standards and best practices: Support the onboarding and development of other engineers by sharing knowledge and coaching on tools and processes.

Requirements:

• 4+ years of experience in testing and quality.
• Strong proficiency in using AI tools to accelerate test creation, automation, and data analysis.
• Extensive experience writing useful and efficient automated tests, specifically using frameworks like Playwright and pytest.
• Working with Python and Ubuntu or other Linux-based operating systems.

• Experience testing and evaluating LLMs, including interest in conversational experiences driven by robots.
• Experience in testing web UIs.
• Experience in testing agentic AI solutions.
• Experience building or maintaining QA telemetry dashboards.
• Experience with continuous deployment in cloud systems (particularly Terraform).
• Experience with testing distributed systems relying on third-party services.
• Familiarity with Agile methodologies.

With 20 years of hardware and software development, our robots have been sold in over 30 countries worldwide with customers such as NASA, PwC, Meta and many more. Our Ameca robot is well known as ‘the face of AI’ and a social media viral success, taking advantage of the generative AI craze. Along with our ultra-realistic Mesmer range of animated figures, our robots continue to surprise and excite visitors at museums, theme parks, visitor attractions and trade shows as well as aid leading universities with AI and robotics research.

We are a team of dedicated engineers and creatives striving to develop the very best experiences for our customers. We explore and challenge the human perception of robots as well as the fear and discomfort and the excitement and joy life-like mechanical humanoids present. We are committed to building a workplace where people of all backgrounds, identities, and perspectives feel welcome, supported, and empowered to contribute. Whether you’re an engineer, developer, or creative thinker, we value what makes you unique. We actively promote inclusion across our hiring, design, and development practices, and we’re always looking for new ways to reflect the world around us — in our team, our robots, and our ideas. Because building the future means including everyone in it.
