Senior Systems Test Engineer

Senior Systems Test Engineer The role focuses on defining and driving system‑level test strategies to support product development and readiness for production in a fast‑paced R&D organization. Responsibilities Lead testing activities on medical device hardware and system‑level development projects, including planning, execution, analysis, and documentation. Create project‑specific test strategies and approaches based on system requirements, risk management, and product development needs. Design, develop, maintain, and validate test fixtures, benchtop setups, and test environments used for development, verification, and manufacturing‑related testing. Create, maintain, execute, and document test plans, protocols, test cases, and reports, ensuring traceability and alignment with applicable quality system requirements. Provide test‑focused input to requirements and design reviews, using this understanding to develop test strategies, methods, and fixtures; contribute to integration activities and defect investigations as needed. Design and implement automated or semi‑automated testing using LabVIEW and/or basic scripting tools to improve test efficiency and repeatability. Support hardware test needs by working with instrumentation, interfaces, and simple board‑level test concepts; support or learn basic PCB design tools such as Altium when needed for test hardware. Troubleshoot, debug, maintain, and support existing products, test methods, and test equipment; participate in defect tracking, root‑cause analysis, and corrective actions. Partner with manufacturing and advanced manufacturing engineering teams to support development and transfer of test methods, fixtures, and production‑oriented test approaches. Provide technical leadership and mentoring to other test engineers or junior team members, contribute to broader test strategy discussions, and identify process improvements across the team. Effectively communicate findings, issues, and recommendations to project teams and stakeholders, ensuring compliance with Quality System and applicable environmental, health, and safety requirements. Qualifications Minimum bachelor’s degree in Engineering or Science with 5+ years of experience, or advanced degree with 3+ years of experience in medical device or regulated product development. Demonstrated experience developing and executing system‑level test strategies, verification plans, and documentation for complex electromechanical products. Hands‑on experience testing at least one shipped, transferred, or production‑intent hardware product. Strong mechanical aptitude with experience designing, building, and troubleshooting test fixtures, lab setups, and benchtop test equipment. Proficiency with CAD tools such as SolidWorks for fixture design and development. Ability to define test methods and strategy independently with limited supervision. Practical familiarity with hardware interfaces, instrumentation, and simple board‑level test concepts. Experience with LabVIEW and/or basic scripting tools such as Python or MATLAB for test automation or data analysis. Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and problem‑solving skills. Experience mentoring junior engineers or technicians (nice to have). Familiarity with Altium or willingness to learn simple PCB design for test interfaces (nice to have). Excellent written and verbal communication skills and ability to work effectively across cross‑functional teams (nice to have). Knowledge of applicable regulations and standards such as 21CFR Part820, ISO13485, ISO14971, ISO10993 and ASTMD4169 (nice to have). Physical Job Requirements Regularly required to be independently mobile and interact with a computer. Reasonable accommodations may be made for individuals with disabilities. U.S. Work Authorization & Sponsorship U.S. work authorization sponsorship is offered exclusively for Principal‑level roles and above.
