Software Test Engineer

This contract role focuses on software and system-level verification for advanced medical imaging products. You will design and execute tests, perform deep exploratory testing, and analyze complex system behaviors to ensure the reliability and safety of medical imaging software in a regulated environment. Working closely with cross-functional engineering teams, you will play a key role in validating features, identifying defects, and supporting continuous improvement of imaging systems. Responsibilities

• Execute and document software and system-level verification activities for medical imaging products.
• Perform thorough exploratory testing to uncover defects, usability issues, and edge-case scenarios.
• Design effective test cases using established test design techniques such as boundary value analysis, equivalence partitioning, and risk-based testing.
• Create, update, and manage defects, tasks, test artifacts, and requirements within Azure DevOps (ADO).
• Develop and maintain Azure DevOps queries, dashboards, and work item tracking to support test execution and reporting.
• Analyze and troubleshoot software and system failures using Windows Event Viewer, application logs, service logs, and diagnostic traces.
• Investigate issues, reproduce defects, and provide clear root-cause evidence and documentation to development and systems engineering teams.
• Execute and troubleshoot WiFi and wireless connectivity tests, including connectivity, roaming, performance, and recovery scenarios.
• Support regression, integration, and system verification testing activities across the medical imaging product portfolio.
• Collaborate closely with Systems Engineering, Development, and Verification teams in a fast-paced environment.
• Maintain clear, detailed test documentation, including test cases, test results, defect reports, and traceability to requirements.
• Apply software verification methodologies and best practices to ensure compliance with regulated industry standards.
