Software Development Engineer - Software Testing

As a Test Engineer, you plan, control, and execute testing activities for our medical software. Your focus is on manual UI, workflow, and system testing throughout the entire development lifecycle. In addition, you specifically test our algorithms in the field of geometric processing and verify the geometric properties and shapes of the software, as this is a core component of our applications.

You develop test strategies at the module, subsystem, and system level, perform hands-on testing, and ensure that our software is intuitive, reliable, and clinically usable.
