  • Manual & Exploratory Testing: Author and execute complex manual test cases for physical UIs, touchscreens, and exploratory hardware edge-case scenarios.
  • Mobile & UI Testing: Execute tests on physical device screens and iOS/Android applications to verify UI/UX, connectivity, and data synchronization.
  • Automation Engineering: Design, implement, and scale automated testing suites using frameworks like Squish, Appium, XCUITest, or Espresso.
  • Matrix Management: Manage and test across physical mobile device matrices to ensure software compatibility across varying OS versions and screen sizes.
  • Wireless Verification: Verify robust wireless communication between mobile applications and physical medical devices using BLE, Wi-Fi, Cellular or NFC.
  • Leadership & Collaboration: Lead contractors and junior engineers while collaborating closely with developers to articulate, log, and resolve software bugs.
  • Write and maintain comprehensive verification test plans, test protocols, and test reports.
  • Establish and maintain rigorous 100% requirements traceability matrices.
  • Ensure all verification activities strictly align with medical device software lifecycle standards (IEC 62304), quality management systems (ISO 13485), and FDA guidelines.
  • Document defects with clear, reproducible steps, technical logs, and code-level context where applicable.

Required Qualifications

  • Work Location: Ability to work full-time on-site to directly access physical hardware, test benches, and wireless environments.
  • Experience: 5+ years of software verification experience, specifically within the medical device, digital health, or a similarly regulated industry.
  • Regulatory Knowledge: Solid understanding of IEC 62304 and FDA design controls for medical device software.
  • Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication skills with a proven ability to interface effectively with cross-functional teams.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Programming Languages: Proficiency in Python (for test scripting and automation tooling), alongside experience in languages relevant to mobile/embedded development such as Java, C and C++.
  • Automation: Proven experience building automated testing frameworks for mobile (iOS/Android) or embedded systems using Squish or Appium.
