Test Engineer - cropr

Can you make our robot perform under pressure? At cropr, we’re looking for a Test Engineer (or Experimental Physicist?) to take the lead in testing our autonomous agricultural robot. You translate technical questions into measurable experiments, execute them with precision, and feed the results back to the team.

Whether it’s laser performance, sensor systems or overall field functionality – you define the test plan, carry out measurements, analyze the results, and deliver clear reports. You’ll work closely with engineers and product developers to make our prototype better, more robust, and smarter.

What`s in it for you?

• A competitive salary (based on your knowledge, skills, and experience)

• 25 vacation days per year (based on a full-time contract), with the option to buy additional days

• A key role in validating new technology in real-world conditions

• Lots of room for personal input and a hands-on role with real impact

• Collaboration with a multidisciplinary team of engineers and researchers

You

• You have a bachelor's or master’s degree in (applied) physics, mechanical engineering, mechatronics or a similar field

• You have experience designing and running structured tests

• You know how to measure, analyze, reason logically, and report clearly

• You have basic experience with Python, for example to process test results or measurement data

• You’re curious, accurate, and think critically about what does and doesn’t work

• You enjoy hands-on work in the field or workshop

What you’ll be working on

As a Test Engineer at cropr, you develop test plans for various robot subsystems – from lasers to drivetrain. You carry out tests both in the workshop and out in the field, translate raw data into insights, and turn those into clear recommendations for the design team.

You’ll work closely with software, electronics and mechanical engineers, and play a key role in validating design decisions for the next generation of cropr prototypes.

Your responsibilities

• Develop test plans and measurement strategies for subsystems and the complete product

• Set up and run tests in the workshop or out in the field

• Collect, organize and analyze measurement data

• Report findings and advise on design improvements

• Collaborate with fellow engineers to interpret and act on results

• Help ensure product quality and reliability

About cropr

At cropr, we’re building an autonomous agricultural robot that selectively eliminates weeds without using pesticides. Lasers, AI, robotics and real-world field conditions all come together in this machine. After the success of our tulip robot (developed under H2L Robotics), we’re now taking the next step: building a robust, scalable product – tested and proven. You’ll help us uncover the facts.
