What are the responsibilities and job description for the Software Engineer (C#) position at Integrated Personnel Services Limited?
Location: San Jose, CA (On-site)
Primary Focus: Simulator Development (C#), Automation (Squish), & Firmware/Hardware Validation
In this pivotal role, you will own the enhancement and maintenance of our proprietary Software Simulator—the critical tool used to validate our robotic surgical hardware and firmware without needing the physical robot every time. You will spend the majority of your time coding in C# to expand the simulator's capabilities, while also using Squish and Python to drive automation.
If you are a C# developer at heart who loves developing a software simulation, this is your role.
What You Will Actually Be Doing
· Core Responsibility: Lead the design, development, and enhancement of the client System Simulator using C#. You will build the virtual environment that mocks hardware behavior to test firmware and software logic.
· Automation Strategy: Develop and execute automated test scripts using Squish (GUI automation) and Python.
· Hybrid Validation: Perform a mix of automated and manual testing. You will manually execute complex test cases where automation isn't yet feasible, ensuring total system safety.
· Hardware/Firmware Interface: Validate the interaction between high-level software and low-level firmware/hardware components via the simulator.
· Compliance & Process: Draft verification protocols and manage requirements/defects using JAMA and Jira, ensuring strict adherence to FDA QSR and IEC 62304 standards.
· CI/CD Integration: Integrate simulator tests into the Continuous Integration pipeline (Jenkins/GitHub) to catch regressions early.
The "Must-Have" Skills (Non-Negotiables)
· C# Expertise: Minimum 5 years of hands-on development experience in C#. You must be comfortable writing complex object-oriented code, not just editing scripts.
· Python Experience: Minimum 2 years of scripting experience (used for glue code and automation support).
· Automation Tools: Proven experience with Squish (preferred), WinAppDriver, or similar GUI automation tools.
· Flexibility: Willingness to perform manual testing when necessary to ensure product quality.
Preferred Qualifications
· Medical Device Background: Solid understanding of FDA QSR (21 CFR Part 820), ISO 13485, and the V&V (Verification & Validation) process.
· Experience in testing Firmware or embedded systems via simulation.
· Experience with JAMA for requirements management.
· Background in Robotics or complex electromechanical systems.
