Software Test Engineer I (Systems Test)
About The Position
The Systems Software Test Engineer contributes to developing, executing, and documenting automated tests that verify end-to-end system functionality, robustness, and reliability in accordance with approved test plans, procedures, and defined metrics. The role supports system verification through test-case development, test automation and execution, analysis of data and results, and defect tracking and investigation. The engineer works with Systems Test, Systems Engineering, Development, Test Tools, and Quality teams; contributes to verification and automation initiatives; supports CI/CD test workflows; and builds an understanding of system architecture and interfaces to evaluate the impact of software changes across the system. The role is hybrid, combining work at Tandem’s corporate headquarters in Del Mar, California, with remote work. The position is expected to be in the office two to three days per week, with on-site attendance potentially required up to five days per week depending on business demands. Tandem describes its work as developing and supporting diabetes technology, including the Tandem Mobi system and t:slim X2 insulin pump with Control-IQ+ technology.
