• Develop and execute verification plans, test cases, and test procedures for interoperability-related requirements

• Perform platform-level verification testing for device‑to‑device and device‑to‑IT connectivity enabled features

• Collaborate with Systems and Software Engineering teams to ensure interoperability designs are verifiable and testable

• Assess interoperability-related changes and determine verification impact and required test coverage

• Troubleshoot and support resolution of interoperability defects identified during verification and integration testing

• Generate clear, compliant verification documentation and evidence to support design control and regulatory needs

• Apply understanding of clinical workflows and intended use when defining representative verification scenarios

What you’ll bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Systems, Biomedical, Computer, Electrical, or related discipline)

• 3+ years of experience in regulated product development, with a focus on verification activities

• Systems engineering background with strong experience in requirements management, traceability, and verification planning

• Hands‑on experience with system, interface, or integration verification testing

• Experience participating in design control and change management processes

• Strong technical documentation, organization, and analytical skills

• Effective written and verbal communication skills for cross‑functional collaboration
