Software Test Engineer III - Electrophysiology

Boston Scientific•Waltham, MA

9d•$82,100 - $156,000•Hybrid

About The Position

The OPAL Mapping System is a 3D mapping and navigation system designed to support cardiac electrophysiology procedures. It provides real-time visualization of intracardiac catheters and displays 3D cardiac maps in selected formats during minimally invasive procedures to assist physicians in identifying the origin of arrhythmias within the heart chamber. As a physician probes the heart with a catheter, the system generates an accurate anatomical model of the chamber. High-performance rendering and algorithmic techniques are vital to creating a detailed view and providing physicians with immediate feedback. The Software Test Engineer III will join a highly effective product quality team in Waltham, Massachusetts, working alongside developers in an Agile environment. This role will develop and execute test cases for a wide range of software components, including user interfaces and algorithms. Responsibilities include writing and updating test cases, manually executing tests and interacting with a variety of electronic equipment in the lab.
