Engineer III – V&V Software & Systems

As part of the Product Verification & Validation team, you will be responsible for validating software functionality, system behavior, performance, reliability, security, and hardware-software integration.

The role requires strong analytical and systems thinking skills with hands-on experience testing software interacting with laboratory instrumentation while ensuring verification activities maintain complete traceability to system and software requirements.

Design, develop, review, and execute verification plans, test strategies, test cases, test procedures, and automated test scripts.

Perform functional, integration, system, regression, and end-to-end testing for new product features and sustaining releases.

Validate software interacting with hardware components including analyzers, sensors, actuators, and peripheral devices.

Reproduce customer-reported issues in laboratory environments and verify corrective actions.

Develop, enhance, and maintain automated verification frameworks and regression test suites.

Perform Windows and Linux operating system image validation and software configuration verification.

Verify cybersecurity patches, vulnerability remediation, and software security compliance.

Validate SQL database integrity, communication interfaces (TCP/IP, USB, IPC), and XML/JSON data exchange.

Document verification results, defects, root cause observations, and verification reports.

Support CI/CD initiatives through automated verification and continuous testing practices.

Review system requirements, software requirements, interface specifications, and design documents to ensure complete verification coverage.

Collaborate with Systems Engineering to ensure verification activities maintain traceability between customer requirements, system requirements, subsystem requirements, and test cases.

Participate in requirement reviews, design reviews, risk assessments, FMEA activities, and change impact analysis.

Verify system-level functionality, subsystem interactions, and interface compliance.

Ensure product verification activities support regulatory compliance and quality management system requirements.

Validate that implemented software complies with intended system architecture and high-level design.

Support verification of reliability improvements, CAPA activities, and engineering change validations.

Collaborate with cross-functional teams to identify verification gaps and improve overall product quality.

Work closely with Software Development, Systems Engineering, Hardware Engineering, QA, Regulatory, Product Management, Manufacturing, and Global Engineering teams.

Support defect investigations through log analysis, debugging, and root cause verification.

Contribute to continuous improvement of V&V processes, automation frameworks, and engineering best practices.

Undertake documentation and other engineering support activities as required.

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science, Electronics, Information Technology, Systems Engineering, or related discipline.

12+ years of experience in Software Verification & Validation, Software Quality Engineering, Systems Verification, or Product Validation.

Experience testing desktop applications and instrument-based software systems.

Experience working in Agile development environments (Scrum, Kanban, or SAFe).

Experience working in regulated environments such as Medical Devices, Clinical Diagnostics, Life Sciences, or Industrial Instrumentation is preferred.

Strong understanding of software testing methodologies, SDLC, STLC, and verification processes.

Experience designing comprehensive test strategies and verification plans.

Hands-on experience with automation frameworks such as Selenium, NUnit, TestComplete, or equivalent.

Working knowledge of C#.NET and/or C++ sufficient for understanding software implementation and debugging.

Experience validating Windows desktop applications and Linux-based software.
