Capstan is building a first-of-its-kind surgical robot, and this role focuses on software and test systems that enable reliable production validation. You will own the software and hardware-in-the-loop test infrastructure from subassemblies through full system integration, working at the interface of hardware and software with R&D as the design evolves to prove the robot is ready for patients.

You will architect and develop hardware-in-the-loop test systems that automate testing, bring up the fixtures that run them, and ensure every test software change reaches the production line cleanly. This role suits you if you enjoy working with real hardware, debugging across mechanical, electrical, and software boundaries, and using data to drive decisions.

Key responsibilities include: - Define, from first principles, how a first-of-its-kind robot is tested in production; shape the test strategy, architecture, and standards for the team - Develop manufacturing tests for robotic subassemblies and systems, collaborating with R&D from early development through design transfer - Own and maintain deployed manufacturing tests, including updates, bug fixes, and production-line support - Derive manufacturing software test requirements from higher-level product and design requirements with traceability - Lead verification and validation of manufacturing test software, including protocols, execution, and reports - Design and develop hardware-in-the-loop test systems to automate software and hardware testing - Develop test methods at the hardware/software interface (e.g., brake c
