- System and integration testing
- Familiarity with:
- Embedded environments (Linux/RTOS is a plus)
- Communication protocols (UART, SPI, I2C)
Testing Expertise
- Requirements-based testing and traceability
- Test design techniques (boundary value, equivalence partitioning, exploratory testing)
- Experience in fault injection and edge-case validation
- Domain Knowledge (Preferred)
- Experience in medical devices or other safety-critical domains
- Understanding of risk-based testing and patient safety considerations
Will be a plus:
- Basic scripting or automation exposure (Python is a plus)
- Experience supporting verification activities in regulated environments, including familiarity with FDA guidelines, IEC 62304, and ISO 13485
- Experience contributing to Design History File (DHF) documentation and audit readiness.
Responsibilities:
Manual Testing & Verification
