About Contoro Robotics
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)
Location: Austin, TX
