Job description

As a Software Test Engineer within our organization, you will play a critical role in verifying software for a groundbreaking robotic surgical platform. This role is highly hands-on and domain-driven, requiring deep understanding of complex hardware, embedded systems, and how software interacts with physical devices in a regulated medical environment.

This position is ideal for someone with strong manual testing expertise, true medical device or robotics domain knowledge, and experience working at the intersection of hardware, firmware, networking, and software.

  • Execute manual test cases, test scripts, and formal verification protocols across functional, integration, and system-level testing

  • Install software on robotic surgical platforms and perform testing on release builds

  • Perform ad hoc and exploratory testing during development cycles, including defect verification and regression testing

  • Create, update, and maintain detailed test documentation, scripts, and execution records following formal design verification practices

  • Work closely with software, firmware, and hardware engineering teams to identify, troubleshoot, and resolve defects

  • Validate end-to-end workflows involving hardware-software interfacing and device-to-device communication

  • Support system qualification, instrument qualification, and equivalency testing as required

  • Use defect tracking and requirements tools to trace coverage and ensure compliance with regulatory expectations
