  • Produce validation documentation including test reports and traceability matrices

Requirements

  • 3+ years in medical device testing, software QA, or system validation
  • Strong hands-on experience with system-level testing across hardware/software stacks
  • Proficiency in test automation and scripting
  • Familiarity with defect tracking tools and V&V processes
  • Comfort with lab equipment and low-level debugging

Nice to Have

  • Linux/Unix experience
  • CI/CD pipeline experience
  • Prior mentorship or technical lead experience
