* Mentor and support less experienced engineers

Skills and Experience Required

* Experience in software testing, software QA or software verification

* Strong background in writing test cases, test plans and test documentation

* Experience reviewing requirements and identifying test scenarios

* Defect management and root cause analysis experience

* Ability to work closely with multi-disciplinary engineering teams

* Strong attention to detail and communication skills

Desirable Experience

* Medical device, diagnostics, IVD or MedTech experience

* Experience working in a regulated environment

* Knowledge of IEC 62304, ISO 13485 or similar standards

* Embedded software, system testing or hardware/software integration experience

* Experience mentoring junior engineers

Why Apply?

This is a chance to work on meaningful technology used in healthcare settings, where your testing expertise directly contributes to product safety and reliability.

You will join a collaborative engineering environment, take ownership of complex verification work and play a key role in improving software quality across regulated products.
