Senior Software Verification Engineer

Abbott Laboratories•Burlington, MA

2d•$78,000 - $156,000•Onsite

About The Position

The Senior Software Verification Engineer will plan, develop, and execute software verification activities for regulated medical device systems and mobile applications. This individual will perform hands-on manual testing for software on physical devices or virtual interfaces, while simultaneously building automated tests. The ideal candidate ensures end-to-end verification, 100% requirements traceability, and robust test coverage to deliver high-quality, compliant connected-health software under rigorous medical device regulations. Because this role requires hands-on interaction with physical medical device hardware, this is a fully on-site position.

Requirements

Ability to work full-time on-site to directly access physical hardware, test benches, and wireless environments.
5+ years of software verification experience, specifically within the medical device, digital health, or a similarly regulated industry.
Solid understanding of IEC 62304 and FDA design controls for medical device software.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills with a proven ability to interface effectively with cross-functional teams.

Nice To Haves

Proficiency in Python (for test scripting and automation tooling).
Experience in languages relevant to mobile/embedded development such as Java, C and C++.
Proven experience building automated testing frameworks for mobile (iOS/Android) or embedded systems using Squish or Appium.
Strong technical understanding of wireless protocols (BLE, Wi-Fi, Cellular, NFC).

Responsibilities

Plan, develop, and execute software verification activities for regulated medical device systems and mobile applications.
Perform hands-on manual testing for software on physical devices or virtual interfaces.
Build automated tests.
Ensure end-to-end verification, 100% requirements traceability, and robust test coverage.
Balance manual exploration of physical medical device hardware with the expansion of automated regression suites.
Author and execute complex manual test cases for physical UIs, touchscreens, and exploratory hardware edge-case scenarios.
Execute tests on physical device screens and iOS/Android applications to verify UI/UX, connectivity, and data synchronization.
Design, implement, and scale automated testing suites using frameworks like Squish, Appium, XCUITest, or Espresso.
Manage and test across physical mobile device matrices to ensure software compatibility across varying OS versions and screen sizes.
Verify robust wireless communication between mobile applications and physical medical devices using BLE, Wi-Fi, Cellular or NFC.
Lead contractors and junior engineers while collaborating closely with developers to articulate, log, and resolve software bugs.
Write and maintain comprehensive verification test plans, test protocols, and test reports.
Establish and maintain rigorous 100% requirements traceability matrices.
Ensure all verification activities strictly align with medical device software lifecycle standards (IEC 62304), quality management systems (ISO 13485), and FDA guidelines.
Document defects with clear, reproducible steps, technical logs, and code-level context where applicable.
