· Develop, execute, and maintain firmware/software test plans, test cases, and automated test scripts based on design requirements and IEC 62304 processes.
· Perform unit, integration, and system‑level testing of C firmware running on 32‑bit microcontrollers (e.g., STM32) using equipment such as debuggers, logic analyzers, and hardware‑in‑the‑loop (HIL) setups.
· Document test protocols and results in compliance with FDA, ISO 13485, and company quality management system requirements.
· Analyze test outcomes, identify defects or performance gaps, and collaborate with senior engineers to propose and verify corrective actions.
· Maintain regression test suites and contribute to continuous integration (CI) pipelines for automated firmware builds and tests.
· Assist in code reviews and static analysis activities to improve code quality and maintainability.
· Support system verification and validation activities, including risk management inputs and traceability to software requirements.
· Participate in cross‑functional design reviews, providing a testing perspective and capturing lessons learned for future projects.
· Contribute to the creation and maintenance of development tools, scripts, and fixtures that enhance test efficiency.
· Communicate testing progress and findings clearly to engineering and quality stakeholders.
