Build software tests that interface with external systems and hardware devices to enable isolated, reproducible test environments independent of third-party availability
Engineer layered API client abstractions that handle authentication, request construction, response validation, and structured logging
Design and execute tests that model realistic concurrent user journeys and produce actionable results
Author and maintain CI/CD pipeline definitions that execute, gate, and report on test results across environments and deployment targets
Integrate test execution with external test management and defect tracking systems to maintain traceability from requirement to result
Enforce production-grade engineering standards on test code, design patterns, code review, refactoring, and module-level abstractions
Collaborate on API contracts, authentication flows, and system observability from a testability perspective during design and development
Minimum Required:
Bachelor’s in Computer Science, Engineering or related discipline.
3+ years of professional software development, test automation or quality engineering experience
Fluent in C#; able to design and build maintainable, extensible code at module and library level
Proven experience building test frameworks and shared libraries from scratch.
Proficiency with multi-module build systems, dependency management, and library versioning at scale
Experience authoring and owning CI/CD pipeline definitions end-to-end, including containerized test environments
Familiarity with structured test reporting, code coverage analysis, and static quality tooling
Experience with Defect Tracking Tools, Requirements Management and Test Management Tools such as ADO, Cognition Cockpit, and JAMA software
Experience with Agile and Scrum methodologies in software development
Excellent interpersonal skills, decision-making, and problem-solving skills
Effective written and verbal communications skills, ability to clearly and precisely communicate with management and remote team members
Familiarity with FDA regulations for medical instruments, ISO 13485, IEC 62304 standards and Quality Management systems
Preferred Skills:
Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering or related discipline
Experience building software simulators for external systems, APIs, or hardware devices
Background in domains involving regulated, safety-critical, or medical device software
