To Make an Impact, You Will

Determine the appropriate scope of software test automation; contribute to test strategies, plans, designs, and automation architecture; and evaluate and select appropriate tools, frameworks, and methods for automated testing.
Develop, configure, and maintain automation frameworks, test environments, fixtures, simulators, utilities, and scripts that support reusable test components, consistent execution, automated result collection, and clear reporting of test outcomes.
Work with software developers to establish and reuse automated unit and integration tests, test stubs, drivers, mocks, simulators, and other test assets, and integrate automated testing into continuous integration and continuous testing workflows.
Execute automated and manual testing, analyze results, document defects and objective evidence, and investigate failures using appropriate logging, data capture, and diagnostic capabilities to differentiate device failures from test environment, automation framework, interface, or equipment failures.
Collaborate with software, systems, electrical, quality, and other engineering disciplines to understand requirements, interfaces, intended behavior, and testability, and continuously improve unit, integration, subsystem, system, regression, and verification test processes.
Develop and execute software testing in an FDA-regulated medical device environment and support software and system verification and validation activities, including automated verification methods where appropriate.
Perform functional, interface, negative, boundary, fault-condition, regression, and risk-based testing to demonstrate that software meets defined requirements and specifications, including appropriate coverage of risk controls and safety-related requirements and maintenance of bidirectional traceability between requirements, tests, results, defects, and applicable risk controls.
Support software engineering tools and infrastructure associated with test automation, continuous integration, automated builds, regression testing, test reporting, and software deployment.
Participate in cross-functional product definition, requirements review, integration, verification, and validation activities, with particular emphasis on requirement clarity, verifiability, testability, interfaces, acceptance criteria, and complex software and system behavior.
Investigate and identify root causes of complex software, test automation, interface, and system issues using appropriate debugging and analysis tools, and clearly communicate technical issues, results, risks, and recommended actions to engineering and project leadership.
Perform code reviews, contribute to coding standards and software engineering practices for automated test infrastructure, and mentor engineers in test automation, debugging techniques, and effective use of the test framework.
Demonstrate a collaborative, adaptable, and results-oriented approach while complying with the company's Quality Policy, Quality Management System, and applicable company policies and procedures.
