Test Engineer (Mechatronics / Sub-Systems)SYOS is a pioneering company developing industry-leading utilitarian autonomous vehicles across air, land, and sea .
All our platforms are powered by SYOS' advanced control system, integrating computer vision, swarming, and communication technologies.We are seeking a hands-on, multi-talented Mechatronics Test Engineer to validate our subsystems and ensure our uncrewed systems perform reliably in the toughest environments.
This is a unique opportunity to work across diverse vehicles — from drones to ground and marine robots — and make a direct impact on next-generation autonomy.Travel will be required.The RoleAs a Test Engineer, you'll play a critical role in planning, executing, and reporting on subsystem tests.
You'll design and set up test rigs, integrate sensors and data acquisition systems, and provide actionable insights that feed directly into design improvements.Your scope will cover mechanical, electrical, and propulsion subsystems — such as landing gear, engines, tail rotors, main rotor blades, electronics modules, and structural components.Key Responsibilities:Test System Setup: Design and assemble test rigs with the appropriate instrumentation, sensors, and data loggers.Subsystem Testing: Validate mechanical and electrical components, propulsion systems, actuation systems, and electronic modules.Environmental & Durability Testing: Conduct vibration, thermal, corrosion, and water-ingress testing to simulate real-world conditions.Data Acquisition & Analysis: Capture, process, and interpret test data to identify performance trends and issues.Reporting: Deliver clear, structured reports and recommendations to the engineering team.Collaboration: Work closely with design engineers to troubleshoot failures and drive continuous improvementSkills & QualificationsProven hands-on experience in test and validation engineering (aerospace, robotics, or automotive preferred).
Strong knowledge of sensors, instrumentation, and data acquisition systems .
Practical experience with vibration, fatigue, thermal cycling, and environmental testing .
Solid understanding of both mechanical and electrical subsystems .
Skilled in data analysis and reporting .
A proactive problem-solver, able to work independently in a fast-paced, evolving environment.Experience with UAS, autonomous ground vehicles, or marine systems highly desirable.How to ApplyIf you're an experienced and driven Test Engineer ready to take on diverse challenges across air, land, and sea vehicles, we'd love to hear from you.
Join SYOS and be part of shaping the future of autonomous systems.
