## About the Role

+ You have **4+ years of experience in software verification, system verification, or integration testing** for software-intensive products that interact with real hardware.

 + You have experience **defining verification plans, test protocols, test procedures, test cases, and objective pass/fail criteria** , not only executing predefined tests.

 + You have hands-on experience with **real-time or timing-sensitive software** running on Linux, RTOS, or Linux with real-time extensions, preferably above the bare-metal driver layer.

 + You have strong practical skills in **Python and C++** for test automation, debugging, data analysis, test tooling, and troubleshooting hardware/software integration issues.

 + You are comfortable working in a **regulated or safety-critical environment** , interpreting requirements, creating traceable verification evidence, and collaborating across software, systems, controls, hardware, and quality teams.

## Description

Verify real-time robotics control software running on Linux/RTOS-based compute platforms for a next-generation robotic surgery system.

This is not a bare-metal firmware role or a junior test-execution role. We are looking for a hands-on verification engineer who can define how safety-critical robotic software should be verified, design meaningful tests from requirements, create protocols and evidence, and troubleshoot software behavior on real hardware.

Your role:

 + **Own verification planning and test design** for real-time robotics control software, including test plans, protocols, procedures, pass/fail criteria, requirements coverage, and traceable verification evidence.

 + **Design, automate, and execute tests** for software running on Linux/RTOS-based compute platforms that interact with motors, sensors, actuators, controllers, and other hardware through device interfaces and control applications.

 + **Investigate and verify system behavior on real hardware** , including timing performance, control-loop behavior, fault handling, watchdogs, safe-state transitions, startup/shutdown behavior, recovery paths, and defects across software, controls, hardware, and system integration boundaries.
