Sr. Embedded Software Test Engineer II

About This Role

We are looking for an organized, detail-orientated, and proactive Embedded Software Test Engineer who has an interest in medical devices and in trying to break them! You would design and execute tests of device firmware and manufacturing process software in support of our Class II cardiac monitoring devices.

In this role, you will act as an advocate for the quality of our software, from the perspective of both our patients and our internal customers, working primarily with firmware written in C and with C#/.NET windows desktop applications.

The position is hybrid and will be expected to work in the office on a regular basis at our San Francisco, CA office. (Averages 50% in office per week with initial start of the position requiring more frequent presence for training. Project phases with formalized testing may also require more frequent presence onsite to monitor hardware and electronic test equipment.)

Also note we are unable to offer any sort of sponsorship for this role.

In this role, you will be expected to:

• Perform manual system-level, functional, and acceptance testing on embedded systems software (C) and supporting desktop software applications (C#/.NET).
  
  
• Collaborate with members of R&D and Manufacturing, Automated Test Engineering, among other teams, to define and implement testing strategies.
  
  
• Develop written verification test protocols, then subsequently document and report test results with regard to both functional and customer requirements - in a manner consistent with regulatory standards and internal procedures.
  
  
• Review requirements and design documentation to ensure technical accuracy as well as testability; act as a quality advocate throughout the development process.
  
  
• Analyze and characterize software-related production and intake process issues and (potentially) field failures to establish repeatability before working with the development team to address the root cause. Then, complete verification testing of the correction before release. 

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in a technical discipline, with at least 5 years of quality assurance experience.
• At least 2 years of experience in testing embedded systems/hardware.
  
  
• Experience with electronic test equipment (power supplies, DMMs, oscilloscopes, etc) and ability to troubleshoot electrical and firmware issues on circuits/hardware.
  
  
• Understanding of QA principles and processes.
• Experience with the software QA process in the medical device industry or other regulated environment (e.g., FAA, SEC, DoD, Title 21 CFR part 11), and related verification, validation, and documentation requirements.
  
  
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, finding creative solutions as well as enjoying investigative and troubleshooting challenges.
  
  
• Proactive communicator with ability to work independently as well as collaboratively in cross-functional teams, potentially leading testing efforts for a given project.
  
  
• Clear, concise, and organized written communication skills to convey methods and observations.
