Sr Software Test Engineer - Future Forward Team

About the job

Job Description

We're looking for a Senior Software Test Engineer to join our Future Forward engineering team - a high-energy, close-knit group building the next generation of robotic surgical systems. This isn't a back-of-the-line QA role. You'll be a core part of the team, shaping how we verify complex surgical software from the ground up.

You'll own the full system verification lifecycle - from test strategy and protocol design to execution, reporting, and defect management - and work shoulder-to-shoulder with development, clinical, systems, and regulatory teams to get it right.

If you thrive in fast-moving environments, love digging into hard problems, and take pride in building things that work reliably when it matters most, this role is for you.

Responsibilities

• Lead system verification for robotic surgical systems — own the top-level test strategy, design, develop, and execute test protocols, and drive them through to completion.
• Design and execute test scripts and protocols for functional software verification across complex, multi-disciplinary robotic systems.
• Generate test reports with complete requirements traceability, ensuring every requirement under test is accounted for.
• Manage defects end-to-end — log issues, drive root cause analysis, assess impact, and collaborate with software and cross-functional teams to resolution.
• Contribute to requirements discussions and bring the system test perspective into design decisions early, not as an afterthought.
• Participate in design change reviews, assess test impact, and lead regression analysis to ensure changes don't introduce new risk.
• Analyze test data, identify non-conformance trends, and synthesize findings into clear executive summaries with actionable design improvement recommendations.
• Understand the system deeply — both technically and from the user's perspective — and use that understanding to drive smarter, more robust test coverage.
