• Familiarity with Selenium (for UI testing), TestNG, Postman (API testing), or JMeter (performance testing).
• Hands-on experience with hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing or real-time system verification in FreeRTOS or bare-metal environments.
• Deep knowledge of FreeRTOS and bare-metal programming for medical devices.
• Certifications like ISTQB Advanced Level, Certified Medical Device Professional (CMDP), or Agile/Scrum Master.
• Define objectives, scope, and methodologies for unit, integration, software, and system testing, aligning with standards (e.g., IEC 62304, ISO 13485, ISO 14971, FDA 21 CFR Part 820).
• Lead the design and maintenance of automation frameworks using Python, Labview or similar (e.g., Perl, Ruby) for system, software, integration, and unit testing in FreeRTOS and bare-metal environments.
• Lead the development of build pipelines using Jenkins or similar
• Develop and utilize automation tools (e.g., VectorCast/Ldra) as needed to automate testing of C/C++-based firmware and software, ensuring compliance with medical device standards.
• Leverage CStat/CRun, SonarQube or similar for static code analysis to maintain code quality, reduce technical debt, and ensure adherence to standards (e.g., MISRA, ISO/IEC).
