Automation Test Engineer (Python)

What project we have for you

We are looking for a Senior Automation Engineer with strong expertise in test automation and a solid background in embedded systems (considered a strong advantage). You will collaborate with a client pioneering transformative technology in the field of cardiac electrophysiology, focused on developing an integrated system that enables physicians to map, ablate, and monitor cardiac arrhythmias with high precision

.The role entails designing, developing, and maintaining Python-based automated test solutions to validate embedded software and system-level functionality, ensuring reliability, performance, and safety of complex medical devices. You will contribute to verification activities across hardware–software integration, support continuous testing practices, and help deliver faster, safer, and more effective treatment solutions for patients with complex heart rhythm disorders

.
This is an onsite hybrid position based in the Greater Boston area (minimum of four days per week onsite
