Responsibilities:

• Design, write, and execute test protocols for hardware, software, and system‑level design verification testing
• Develop and qualify test methods, test equipment and protocols against system and sub‑system requirements
• Collate and analyse test results, identify and report anomalies and non‑conformances, and work with quality and engineering teams to investigate root causes and determine disposition
• Author verification test reports to the standard required for design history files and regulatory submissions, including FDA clearance and CE marking
• Maintain requirements traceability matrices, ensuring test coverage is complete and gaps are identified and resolved ahead of design reviews and regulatory milestones
• Support system integration testing, coordinating test execution across hardware, firmware, and software components and documenting integration test outcomes
• Contribute to risk management activities under ISO 14971, including review of FMEAs and verification of risk control effectiveness

• Good analytical skills, with the ability to identify and investigate test anomalies, document non‑conformances, and support root cause analysis
• Experience in developing software based test tools and scripts in Python for collecting and analyzing test data
• Familiarity with requirements management tooling and test management platforms
• Clear and precise technical writing skills, with experience authoring test protocols and reports that meet regulatory documentation standards

Nice to have:

• Working knowledge of ISO 14971 and ISO 13485 applied to product design and development
• Experience with hardware‑in‑the‑loop or software‑in‑the‑loop testing for embedded or real‑time systems
• Experience in optical, photonic, or biomedical hardware test and characterisation
• Familiarity with IEC 62304 software V&V requirements and the interface between hardware and software test activities
• Exposure to automated test frameworks or scripting for test automation in an embedded or mixed‑signal context
