Full job description

WHAT YOU’LL DO

  1. Execute weekly system-level exploratory testing across the scanner and supporting software; log and triage issues with clear reproduction steps.

  2. Work with engineering to debug root cause and validate fixes.

  3. Help maintain the DHF and traceability between user needs, design requirements, tests, and results.

  4. Own practical test execution logistics (fixtures, test data, environments, calibration artifacts) and keep things repeatable.

  5. Help build the continuous testing strategy: automated tests where feasible, plus structured manual and system tests.

  6. Support V&V activities, including coordination with external partners as needed.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

  • Strong hands-on testing instincts for complex electromechanical systems with substantial software.

  • Ability to write clear bug reports and communicate risk/impact.

  • Experience building and maintaining test plans/protocols; comfort operating lab equipment and debugging across layers.

USEFUL EXPERIENCE

  • Experience testing complex systems end-to-end (automation where it pays off, plus hands-on hardware/instrumentation).

  • Medical device or other safety-critical environments and comfort translating risk into practical test coverage.
