Develop, document, and execute comprehensive test cases for application and embedded software, covering functional, regression, and performance testing as needed.
Identify, document, and track software defects, inconsistencies, and performance issues using established bug tracking systems.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including software developers, hardware engineers, and product managers, to understand system requirements and testing needs.
Analyze test results, diagnose issues, and provide clear, actionable feedback to engineering teams to support timely resolution.

Perform manual testing of software applications and embedded systems, ensuring thorough coverage of specified requirements.
Work with embedded hardware and systems during testing to validate integration, communication, and overall system behavior.
Utilize PowerShell and other scripting tools to support test execution, data collection, and basic automation tasks.
Apply knowledge of Windows and Linux operating systems during test planning and execution, including installation, configuration, and troubleshooting.
Use version control systems such as Git or SVN and continuous integration tools such as Azure DevOps to manage test artifacts and support the development workflow.
Consider regulatory standards and practices for medical software development, including FDA and IEC-related guidelines, when planning and executing tests.
Communicate test status, defect trends, and quality risks clearly and professionally to stakeholders.
Work collaboratively in a regulated or robotics-focused environment to ensure that software meets safety, reliability, and compliance expectations.

Essential Skills

Hands-on software quality assurance experience, including manual testing of application and embedded software.
Practical experience with PowerShell scripting to support testing activities.
