The Physiological Sensing R&D team is dedicated to the end-to-end development, continuous advancement, and clinical validation of innovative monitoring technologies that measure, interpret, and leverage physiological signals to improve patient outcomes. Their expertise spans anesthesia and depth of sedation monitoring, respiratory monitoring, pulse oximetry, regional oximetry, and the integration of predictive algorithms and clinical decision support solutions. By focusing on non-invasive, real-time technologies, they empower clinicians with actionable insights in surgery, critical care, and other high-risk settings.
Come for a job, stay for a career!
The Senior Test Engineer supports the design, implementation, and qualification of automated and semi-automated test systems and designs and executes test cases used to verify functional and performance requirements of physiologic monitoring devices and subsystems, such as pulse oximetry, regional oximetry, EEG based devices, and other sensing technologies. On a typical day, this role works closely with the Principal Test Automation Engineer and cross-functional partners.
Aid in the development and implementation of automated test platform within the R&D team.
Translate system and subsystem requirements into detailed test cases, procedures, and automated scripts.
Hands-on, developing, executing, and troubleshooting tests, analyzing results, and ensuring thorough coverage across normal, boundary, and fault conditions.
Assist in the design, implementation, and qualification of automated and semi-automated test systems for physiologic monitoring devices and subsystems.
Develop, document, and maintain detailed test cases, procedures, and automated scripts aligned with system and subsystem requirements.
Execute functional, performance, and system-level tests, including regression, exploratory, and fault-injection testing.
Configure and operate test equipment, instrumentation, simulators, and data acquisition systems required for verification activities.
Analyze test results, identify defects or anomalies, and clearly document findings, root cause hypotheses, and supporting data.
Work cross-functionally with software, hardware, systems, and quality engineers to troubleshoot issues and verify fixes.
Requires a Bachelors Level 8 degree and minimum of 4 years of relevant experience OR a Master's degree with a minimum of 2 years relevant experience OR a PhD with 0 years relevant experience
Proficiency in Python programming is essential with development and implementation of test automation frameworks (pytest etc) desired.
Experience with validation of software tools and development within SDLC principles.
Hands-on experience developing and executing manual, automated, or semi-automated test systems for complex electromechanical or embedded systems.
Proficiency with test automation tools, scripting, or programming languages commonly used in test environments (e.g., LabVIEW, MATLAB, C/C++, or similar).
Experience working with version control software with development and integration into CI/CD pipelines is required (Gitlab, GitHub etc.)
Experience creating and integrating to Rest API endpoints using Python and its associated libraries.
Experience developing Web UI and reporting modules for end user consumption would be a distinct advantage.
Familiarity with docker containers and networking would be beneficial.
Ability to troubleshoot complex issues across hardware, software, and system interfaces in collaboration with cross-functional teams.
Familiarity with medical device development processes and quality systems, including verification and validation activities; experience with regulated environments preferred.
Experience creating and maintaining test documentation, including test plans, protocols, procedures, and reports.
Experience working with test equipment and instrumentation such as oscilloscopes, logic analysers, signal generators, simulators, and data acquisition systems.
Strong communication skills, with the ability to present technical findings and recommendations to engineering peers and stakeholders.
Demonstrated skills in “systems thinking” – ability to consider problems, implementations, and impacts at a higher system level.
Experience analysing test data, identifying defects and failure modes, and clearly documenting results and root cause hypotheses.
Able to apply engineering analysis techniques and tools (Matlab, Minitab, Excel, etc.)
