## About the role

#### Join Contoro Robotics – Revolutionizing Warehouse Automation with Cutting-Edge Robotics

At **Contoro Robotics**, we're on a mission to solve labor challenges through advanced robotic solutions. Headquartered in **Austin, TX**, our fast-growing startup is transforming the supply chain industry with our flagship warehouse automation technology. Our team is made up of top-tier experts in **robotics, AI, and logistics**, working together to push the boundaries of automation.

We’re looking for **talented and ambitious individuals** to join us on this journey—helping shape the future of robotics while growing alongside a world-class team. If you're passionate about innovation, problem-solving, and making a real-world impact, we want to hear from you!

**Job Title: **Robotics Engineer Intern - Test & Validation (Automation team)

**Location:** Austin, TX
**About**

Contoro Robotics is an Austin based startup focused on warehouse automation. We design a state-of-the-art autonomous truck unloading system capable of lifting boxes over 60 lbs. As a Test & Validation Intern, you'll be the person who runs our robots through structured test procedures and reports results that directly inform whether features ship to customer sites. You'll work closely with a senior test engineer who designs the tests and feature owners who triage failures, ensuring our Systems and Automation teams have fast, reliable feedback on every change they make. This is a hands-on role — you will be working with real robots, real boxes, and real test data every day.

**In this role, you will:**

- Execute predefined test procedures across tiered test levels (from single-box handling to full simulated site conditions)

- Record and report test results accurately, including logging failure modes, timestamps, and environmental conditions

- Set up and tear down test environments per documented runbooks (conveyor configurations, box arrangements, sensor calibration checks)

- Flag test failures and route them to feature owners with supporting data (logs, video, metrics)

- Maintain test result dashboards so Systems, Automation, and Operations teams have real-time visibility into product readiness

- Track regression by re-running previously passing tests after code or hardware changes

- Assist the senior test engineer with test environment maintenance and instrumentation upkeep

- Document any test setup issues or runbook gaps encountered during execution**You might thrive in this role if you:**

- Are pursuing a degree in robotics, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, or a related field

- Are detail-oriented and comfortable with repetitive, structured tasks that demand precision

- Can clearly document and communicate what you observed versus what you expected

- Have basic familiarity with Linux command line and can follow technical runbooks

- Have exposure to ROS, sensor data, or robotic systems (preferred, not required)

- Can work on-site at Contoro's office in Austin, TX for the duration of the internship

- Are available throughout two continuous terms (e.g., Spring + Summer Summer + Fall)
