About The Position

NVision is seeking a Test Manager to own the test and verification strategy for innovative products, from early research through formal verification and validation. The role works closely with an interdisciplinary R&D team to define testing and verification approaches across product-development stages. The Test Manager develops test strategies, plans, priorities, and processes; coordinates experimental and formal testing; supports engineers and scientists in designing experiments for fluidic processes and device prototypes; and supervises laboratory testing and junior team members. The role also ensures that experimental data is documented and analyzed, findings are communicated promptly, and results are interpreted with analytical chemistry and pharmaceutical experts. The position drives formal product verification processes, including defining templates and standards, deriving test specifications from product requirements, and owning verification and validation activities with external development partners in alignment with regulatory requirements. The role requires spending several days each month onsite in Ulm. NVision offers onsite work at its facilities with home-office opportunities.

Requirements

Degree in Mechanical, Mechatronics, or Medical Engineering, or a related technical field.
At least 4 years of professional experience in testing or systems engineering within an interdisciplinary R&D environment.
Strong knowledge of testing methodologies, laboratory procedures, and hardware and software system integration.
Extensive hands-on test laboratory experience; experience with automated, multi-step chemical or fluidic processes is ideal.
Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, including the ability to interpret complex test data.
Strong stakeholder-management and communication skills, with the ability to coordinate interdisciplinary and cross-functional teams.
Familiarity with requirements management, formal documentation, and relevant regulatory requirements and standards.
Willingness to spend several days per month onsite in Ulm.
