Software Automation Engineer

Software Development Engineer – System Test Automation

By driving early defect detection and preventing critical issues, you will play a pivotal role in delivering safe, high-quality medical systems.

You will collaborate closely with system testers, developers, and framework (enabler) teams to create maintainable automation solutions aligned with product requirements and medical verification standards. Additionally, you will contribute to the evolution of our test infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and cross-domain alignment between manual and automated testing.
